What day is that? Earth Day! Emma comes to you with a special episode to celebrate this special day. She’s got some good news to share, and much more! What might it all be? Let’s tune in and find out.

Happy Earth Day everyone!
The “Quest for the Best” isn’t about to stop Emma from enjoying this special day. Today is a big day, so let’s be sure to join in on the fun!

What is Earth Day?

Earth Day celebrates the progress that the environmental movement has made, and the impact that raising awareness has helped bring to saving animals and the planet. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970 – 53 years ago. A lot has happened in that time, but there’s still plenty of work to do!

How can I celebrate Earth Day?

There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day! Ask a parent to take a look at where you live to see if there are any events being organized. Can’t find anything? Don’t worry. Here are a few ideas on how you can go about it yourself:

  • organize a litter clean-up in your neighborhood
  • plant a tree or some flowers
  • limit your water waste
  • turn off the lights when you leave the room
  • spread the word about Earth Day

Some of these idea might be closely connected to missions on the Earth Rangers app – be sure to take a look and accept those you want to do. Today is a perfect chance to complete a mission and celebrate Earth Day.

What about Emma?

In this episode, Emma mentions some good news that’s worth celebrating. What are they? Let’s take a look…

Pandastic news:

Remember the red panda Emma talked about while staying at Adelia’s cabin in Nepal? If you missed it, Earth Rangers Headquarters announced an update, and they had great news to share! Over 500 rangers came in to help support the red pandas, and it has helped spread the word, give these cute animals more trees and much more!

Emma reminded us that there’s a lot to party about. The endangered species act can also show us more reasons to celebrate! In just 50 years, it has saved 99% species that were listed as under threat. That is HUGE! This is proof that we’re making a difference when it comes to saving the planet.

Emma also mentions her list of favorite animals: African Wild Dogs, Elephants, Sea Turtles, Red Panda and Snow Leopards. Were any of these a surprise to you? Wait, let’s not stop there! Why not share your own Top 5 of favorite animals?

Can’t pick a Top 5? You can also celebrate in the comment by sharing any cool rare or unknown animal facts you want more people to know about. Are there any animals you think others don’t know about or deserve more love and attention? There’s no better time than now to celebrate them!

Some of you have already been passing on some sweet messages to Emma and the rest of Earth Rangers headquarters. We love all the sweet jokes, animal encounters, animal facts, and messages you send us! For this special day, I made a small montage of sweet messages you all had to share with Emma. If you want to relisten to it, you can go check it out here:
