A third grader describes exactly how important Earth Day is to him

A response to a quiz question on Earth Day has gone viral on Reddit, due to one student’s lack of commitment in celebrating and learning about this day.

He is asked what he has learned on this day and how the knowledge acquired on the occasion can prove useful to him in the future.

"I did not know Earth Day was April 22. It might be useful in a trivia game," he responds with frankness and complete honesty.

His lack of intent to try to impress his teacher is very endearing, but it's safe to assume that he probably hasn't gotten an A in this class.
