1、儿童节的来历Childrens Day is June 1st. Childrens Day is for every child. It is the happiest day for the children all over the world. Children dance, sing, play games and go to zoos. 儿童是国家的未来的主人翁，因此，如何提供儿童一个良好的家庭、社会或是学习环境，乃是世界各国致力的目标。公元一九二五年八月，世界上五十四个不同国家的爱护儿童代表，聚集在瑞士日内瓦举行儿童幸福国际大会 ，通过日内瓦保障儿童宣言 。宣言中，对于儿童精神上
2、应有的享受、贫苦儿童的救济、儿童危险工作的避免、儿童谋生机会的获得，以及怎样救养儿童等问题，均有热烈呼应。 自此次大会后，一方面藉以鼓舞儿童，让儿童感到幸福、快乐，另一方面为引起社会重视与爱护，各国政府都先后订定儿童节 。 1949 年 11 月在莫斯科召开的国际民主妇女联合会，为保障全世界儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育权；反对帝国主义战争贩子对儿童的虐杀和毒害。理事会决定每年 6 月 1 日为国际儿童节。中国曾于1931 年将儿童节定在每年 4 月 4 日。1949 年 12 月 23 日中央人民政府政务院规定“六一”国际儿童节为中国儿童的节日。1950 年 3 月 30 日，教育部发出通告，
3、规定 6 月 1 日为儿童节，废除旧的“四四”儿童节。 国际儿童节亦称“六一国际儿童节” 、 “儿童节”：国际民主妇女联合会为保障全世界儿童生存、保健和受教育的权利，1949 年 11 月在莫斯科举行的会议上，决定以每年 6 月 1 日为国际儿童节。我国中央人民政府政务院于 1949 年 12 月规定 6 月 1 日为儿童节。 April 22nd is the Earths Day. The first Earths Day in history is in 1970. And this year is the 33rd Earths Day. We love the Earth, and
4、we should protect the environment and cherish the Earth. 4 月 22 日是世界地球日。咦？地球还有节日？是的。因为，当今地球上的人类面临着一系列危机，比如说，人口膨胀和资源过度消耗，大气、水质的污染，有毒废物的排放，温室气体导致的全球气候变暖，生物物种的大量消失没有一个团体能独自解决此类问题。所以，全世界的公民都有义务联合起来，解决日益严重的环境危机。 1970 年 4 月 22 日，在美国爆发了有 2000 万人参加的公民环保运动，这一天被命名为地球日。它作为人类现代环保运动的开端，推动了西方国家环境法规的建立，并促成了 72 年联合
5、国第一次人类环境会议的召开。此后各国的政府环保部门和民间环保组织纷纷成立，地球日也因此成为一百四十多个国家共同的环保纪念日。 2000 年 4 月 22 日是世界第 30 个地球日，也是新世纪的第一个地球日，所以活动非常隆重。宣传的主题是：倡导可持续消费，选择绿色生活。146 个国家为此举行了全球性的环保活动。1999 年 10 月 18 日，马克先生受“地球日国际 ”组织及该组织负责人 地球日发起人丹尼斯海斯的委托，由美中环境基金会筹办，在北京召开了地球日座谈会。出席会议的北京地球村、世界自然基金会、环境与发展研究所以及在京的部分高校决定共同组织以可持续消费为主题的地球日统一活动。 2002
