About
Earth Day is an internationally observed celebration promoting the protection and conservation of our planet and its myriad denizens, celebrated every April 22 across the globe.
It is more than a celebration of our planet and its ecosystems – it’s a time to act and make the world a better place. The Royal Ontario Museum is committed to being part of the solution.
