2010 Earth Day Celebration
The 16th annual Earth Day celebration is being held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m on Friday, April 23, 2010, at the Missouri State Capitol south lawn.
Earth Day activities
The Department of Natural Resources sponsors and hosts the event at the Capitol each
year. Activities include information booths,
games and displays about the environment. Many other state and federal
agencies participated through educational displays and exhibits.
The nation's very first Earth Day was held in 1970 and led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Earth Rocks! Teachers, please encourage your students to bring their favorite rocks, minerals, fossils or "dinosaur eggs" to Earth Day to our "Ask a Geologist" booth where our geologists will properly identify their treasures. |
