Earth Day Quotes
Every year since 1970, we have celebrated Earth Day on April 22. My first memory of Earth Day was back in 1990 when I was in grade 6. We watched videos and did activities in science class to learn more about it. I remember back then feeling fear at what our Earth was becoming. Improvements have been made, but I think we still have a long way to go.
In honour of Earth Day this year, I’ve made these Earth Day quotes with words of wisdom that resonated with me. How do you celebrate Earth Day?

Thank you for sharing these beautiful quotes. My favorite one is – “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
These are all beautiful and meaningful quotes! Thanks for sharing!
We try to be Earth friendly everyday
As a Girl Scout leader we did many projects on Earth Day – now the projects are more geared towards enviromental issues and our foot print on Earth.
We hike in the local nature preserve and regularly volunteer at the local zoo
I really enjoyed getting to read these Earth Day Quotes. We need to be mindful of what we do, and be good to the earth! Give up plastic bags and plastic water bottles. It will help the environment so much!
What a wonderful reminder that we need to care for the earth as we care for our children.
Love your first quote: “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
Our philosophy is to always leave things better than you found them. 🙂
i try to plant something on Earth day
The photos are beautiful! Tanks.!
I love all of those quotes. Thanks for sharing them all in one post with beautifuly photos.
It is scary to look a the destruction we do to our planet.
Each on e of these quotes is precious. I can’t decide which is my favorite – eith We boorow from our children or B. Franklin’s quote
Such wonderful quotes to remind us to take care of our earth! I try to be as environmentally conscious as possible, but everyone can improve their habits with a little extra effort.
I’ve added this page to my StumbleUpon. 🙂
These quotes are so wonderful! This is exactly how I feel about what is happening in the world!
Beautiful images and meaningful quotes. Earth Day is very important and a great time to talk about trees, plant and animal life, and the Earth. Many activities are available like planting trees, recycling, and visiting a farm or garden. Take a deep breath, smile, and think about the miraculous world we live in.
absolutely love these quotes <3 thank you
Wonderful quotes <3
I remember learning abut earth day as a child as well. I do not remember being afraid of what was happening to our earth. I just remember learning all the things we could do for and not do to our planet. Lucky for me this was reinforced at my home quite strictly, even before I learned it in school (my parents were hippies). Today I do not celebrate Earth Day exactly but T do try, try, try to do my very best everyday, even when I do not feel like it.
Thanks so much for sharing these with us! I have tweeted and hope more ppl stop by to read and comment! Happy Sunday to you and yours!
So meaningful your… we should protect the earth indeed “Happy Earth Day” 🙂
I really like the Benjamin Franklin quote but unfortunately it is too accurate. I worry that the only time most people will begin to be concerned about the depletion of natural resources in when it is noticeable that they are gone or close to gone.
These quotes are lovely. I remember the first Earth day – it was so long ago, but in some ways it seems like yesterday. I remember some people said “It’s just a gimmick, it’ll never catch on” – guess we proved them wrong! I love it every year. and always find a way to help our planet, no matter how small. It’s my way of saying “thank you”.
The first quote is more true than ever and as a BC resident, and at this time, I am sad to think that any potential oil tanker spills could leave a destroyed eco system and environment for our next generations.
I believe that Earthday should be everyday. I try to pick up trash out of the neighborhood everyday when I am walking my dog. This is my way to celebrate Earthday.
These are indeed inspirational; I like the first one especially. We just don’t seem to be honoring the idea of posterity anymore. Too much short-term thinking!
These are great quotes, I like the first one and the last one. “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we borrow it from our children,” this quote reminds us all that we need to think about the state of the world that we leave behind for future generations. And the quote by Benjamin Franklin, “When the well is dry, we know the worth of water”, this quote is a very practical matter of fact truism.
Thanks for these wonderful quotes,they certainly make a person think
