Earth day is at 22 of April,I think Earth day is a day that we can learn how to let Earth get better.
On April 22, 1970, people across the country united to validate the importance of the environment and take action. Earth Day was initiated by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who said he was determined to "forcibly thrust the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into the political dialogue of the nation." He manifested the nation's environmental cause through what started as a 'teach-in' to protest the government's environmental ignorance. His accomplishment in the environmental arena eventually led to fundamental legislation, including the Environmental Policy Act (1969), the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water Act (1977) and fuel efficiency standards for automobiles.
For over 30 years, on April 22nd, millions of people have united to heed this urgent call to action and celebrate the environment. Earth 911 has taken the mission of Earth Day and made it an everyday opportunity by offering information and resources available to protect the environment in every community in the United States and Canada. Everyone know how to make Earth better,but hardly anyone do action,I hop we can make Earth a better place to live.

Racial Haimony Day
I think Racial Haimony Day is a day that everyone can learn about different culture and different racial's tranditional,every racial have it's culture,we should respect different racial's culture,we appreciate Singapore's racial cohesion. It reminds us of the importance of maintaining peaceful relations among our various racial groups and not to take the racial harmony we enjoy for granted. It is also a day where the different races come together to celebrate our success as a harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of cultures and heritages. Deep-seated resentment and mutual distrust between the Malay and Chinese community, sparked off a series of racial riots on 21st July 1964. Racial Harmony Day is commemorated to mark the race riots, and also to serve as a day for reflection and a reminder of the need for racial harmony in multi-racial Singapore, and how the exploitation of communal feelings can threaten the political stability of Singapore,as Singapore is a small country, we has hardly any natural resources. Singaporeans are our only important resource. Living in harmony with one another is therefore very important as it will ensure the continued peace and prosperity that we have enjoyed for many years.If we are not living in harmony, there will be fear and mistrust among the different communities, which could result in social unrest and racial riots. E.g. in Indonesia, racial violence against the ethnic Chinese has been carried out in several different places in Indonesia, such as Medan, Jakarta, East Timor etc. The violence includes looting, burning (of buildings, properties, vehicles), tortures and murders. Racial riots alone can affect our country's development and growth. It would prevent other countries from investing in our country because we would be politically unstable. With different races working peacefully with one another, there would be economic stability and this will also give confidence to foreign investors, hence bringing wealth for the country and for the people.
