The first Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 as a global effort to protect the environment. However, it wasn't until 1990 that Japan officially began its own Earth Day celebrations. Today, over 175 countries across the world participate in Earth Day related events. Throughout the weekend, a variety of earth and environmentally related events are scheduled to take place around the world, including Tokyo.
