Over the years, increasing rate of pollution, burgeoning population, and depleting natural resources have led to global warming and climate crisis, with several countries dealing with its repercussions. To combat this, the international community has taken numerous initiatives, including the topic of today’s collection of coloring pages, Earth Day.
First proposed by activist John McConnell at the 1969 UNESCO conference, the first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, in the United States through combined efforts by the US Senate, Gaylord Nelson and activist Dennis Hayes. Two decades later in 1990, Earth Day was organized internationally across 141 countries, and today, it has become the world’s largest civic observance.
The term “Earth Day” was coined by advertising copywriter Julien Koenig, and the global event has been focusing on key issues and themes each year, with Earth Day 2026 theme being “Our Power, Our Planet”. The aim is to achieve environmental progress through everyday action and mobilize people around the world on a massive scale.
