FILE - A satellite photo of Earth on April 22, 1970, people around the world marked the first Earth Day.
This planet has been home to all sorts of species from the simplest of microscopic organisms to complicated and intelligent human beings.
Earth has given life and helped it thrive so it only makes sense that there is a dedicated day to celebrate it.
After a whirlwind year when an ongoing pandemic halts daily life on Earth for almost all humans, the big blue marble kept spinning and gave us sunshine and fresh air, rekindling our love for nature and reminding us not to take this planet for granted.

In Our View: Care for planet on Earth Day and beyond The Columbian
Share:
Today’s observance of Earth Day is a reminder of the progress humans have made in caring for their planet and the work that remains.
That work begins close to home. As numerous letters to the editor of The Columbian have pointed out, litter has become increasingly visible throughout Clark County. Discarded masks, coffee cups, food packages and sundry other items mar the landscape, while garbage piles up near homeless encampments.
That makes our community less livable, harms the environment and presents a danger to wildlife and humans. It also violates the spirit of Earth Day, which enjoys its 51st incarnation today thanks in large part to Clark County.
