Earth Day was a unified response to an environment in crisis — oil spills, smog, rivers so polluted they literally caught fire.
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet.
The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement, and is now recognized as the planet’s largest civic event.
On Earth Day 2020, we seize all the tools and actions that we have, big and small, to change our lives and change our world, not for one day, but forever.
While the coronavirus may force us to keep our distance, it will not force us to keep our voices down. The only thing that will change the world is a bold and unified demand for a new way forward.
We may be apart, but through the power of digital media, we’re also more connected than ever.
On April 22, join us for 24 hours of action in a global digital mobilization that drives actions big and small, gives diverse voices a platform and demands bold action for people and the planet.
Over the 24 hours of Earth Day, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day will fill the digital landscape with global conversations, calls to action, performances, video teach-ins and more.
While Earth Day may be going digital, our goal remains the same: to mobilize the world to take the most meaningful actions to make a difference.
No matter where you are, you can make a difference. And you’re not alone, because together, we can save the Earth.
Visit earthday.org on April 22 as we build an Earth Day unlike any other — We’re flooding the digital landscape with livestreamed discussions, a global digital surge, and 24 hours of actions that you can take, right now and from wherever you are.

The last spring frost in New York City was April 5th meaning that the growing season is 220 days long. The first fall frost is scheduled to occur on November 12th so get planting!
A frost date is the average date of the first or last light freeze that occurs in spring or fall. Note that local weather and topography may cause considerable variations. The probability of frost occurring after the given spring dates and before the given fall dates is 30 percent.
The classification of freeze temperatures is based on their effect on plants:
Since everyone is on lockdown because of COVID-19, here is a suggestion on the different plants you can bring into your home!
Hope everyone is holding up okay and staying home due to COVID-19 crisis. Since we cannot go outside plants are a great way to bring the environment to us. It is a great method to improve the air quality in our homes.
We are a CAS project at Baccalaureate School for Global Education located in Astoria. We understand that the workload and especially in the latter years of high school the demands of the IB program are tough. Wanting to help the atmosphere in our school, we thought of implementing plants into our environment. Plants are proven to help lower stress levels and in general make people happy. We want all students at BSGE to be happy!
