On April 22, 24% of Americans say they will do something to celebrate Earth Day. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 64% have no such plans.

In fact, in a survey conducted just days before the celebration, just 54% of Americans correctly guessed that it was celebrated in April. Given a list of four possible months, 54% named the current month, 30% were not sure, and 15% guessed either January, July or October.

Still, 32% say they consider Earth Day Very Important, 32% say it’s Somewhat Important, and 30% say it’s Not Very Important or Not at all Important. Women consider the day more important than men.

Most Americans (69%) think individuals can improve the environment and reduce global warming by their actions. Only 18% disagree. Democrats (76%) are much more optimistic on environmental improvements than Republicans (57%).

Overall, most (78%) adults also believe that it’s possible to develop major sources of energy that are environmentally-friendly. Just 6% say otherwise.

A separate Rasmussen Reports survey found that 47% of Americans consider global warming a serious concern. However, people are divided as to the cause--47% believe human activity is to blame, while 34% think long-term planetary trends are the culprit.
