He designed the recycling symbol to honour the first Earth Day in 1970. His creativity has changed the world for the better. On April 22nd 2020 &#8211; Earth Day (50 years later) World Class Schools invite everyone to #BeCreative and produce whatever creative thing they have done or are doing to keep happy, and to celebrate our shared humanity. Earth Day is about a new way forward for our planet, so what better day on which to #BeCreative? Earth Day is a historic moment when citizens of the world rise up in a united call for creativity, innovation and ambition to solve the world\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you need to do?  Use today (Wednesday, 22nd April 2020) to #BeCreative and produce something new and original, that&#8217;s creative, to represent Earth Day.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthday.org\/\">For information and inspiration from Earth Day, read more here<\/a>.
