Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth‘s environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. This year, Peekskill had city-wide clean ups and garbage can painting in recognition of Earth Day. Students from Peekskill Middle School painted the garbage cans which will be dispersed all around Peekskill. The garbage cans will not only represent the artistic talent of Peekskill’s studnets, but they will also be a reminder
to keep our city clean. These events occur annually, and they help in keeping our city clean, and most importantly, they help in keeping the Earth happy.
