World Soil Day

World Soil Day, celebrated on December 5th, is a special day when people around the world learn about and appreciate soil. Soil is the ground beneath our feet that helps plants grow, which in turn gives us food to eat and clean air to breathe. This day reminds us to take care of the soil so it stays healthy and can continue to support life on Earth. People might plant trees, protect gardens, or learn new ways to keep soil clean and strong. It's like a birthday party for the soil, reminding us all to be kind to our planet.

How to celebrate World Soil Day?

On World Soil Day, plant a small garden with friends or family and learn how soil helps plants grow. Collect different types of soil to see their colors and textures. Have a soil-themed picnic with foods that come from plants like fruits and vegetables. Create a poster or drawing showing why soil is important. Read books or watch videos about worms and bugs that help soil stay healthy. Make soil-friendly crafts like painting rocks to decorate your garden.
