Earth Day

The first Earth Day was held in 1970 as a grassroots movement to bring attention to the environment throughout the nation and the world. Senator Gaylord Nelson took a leading role in organizing the initial celebration. Nearly 20 million people take part around the world. Every year on April 22, the world recognizes Earth Day. But, to some everyday is Earth Day. Every single day we should all do at least one thing to make the world better. We can do this by walking or riding a bike when we have an opportunity rather than drive or by eliminating wasteful water usage. The future of our globe is in our hands. What we do now will determine the usefulness of our world for us and our future generations.
