2) Celebrate Earth Day with NASA
On the NASA Earth Day 2020: 50th Anniversary website where you will find resources developed by science experts to help learner of all ages "do" science in ways that activate minds and promote understanding of the Earth system. NASA's Earth Day 2020: 50th Anniversary Toolkit full of resources that are available to teachers and students, parents, civic leaders, museums — and anyone else — to use. More information is coming about activities you can do at home.
3) Earth Day and GLOBE 25th Anniversary Celebrations Around the World
The list below shows how many countries were planning outdoor activities before COVID-19 drove us all indoors. And this was only the beginning; events in many countries were in the planning stage and had not yet made it onto this list. Though all events have been cancelled, we leave it here to show you how committed GLOBE countries have been to celebrating this special GLOBE 25th Annual Earth Day event. Hopefully, we will all be outside for Earth Day 2021 to celebrate the end of our Anniversary year.
