History of Earth Day:
The first national Earth Day was a grass-roots effort held April 22, 1970. Over
20 million people across the country participated, including organized events
at 2,000 colleges, 10,000 grade and high schools, and within 1,000
communities. It was this spontaneous, enthusiastic response that created the
momentum for many modern environmental standards and legislation. The
first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water,
and Endangered Species acts.
“When strangers start acting like neighbors, communities are
reinvigorated.”
Ralph Nader
By its 20th anniversary Earth Day April 22, 1990 had gone international and
was celebrated by more than 200 million people in 141 countries. Recycling
efforts worldwide were boosted, and many volunteer based networks of
individuals, groups, businesses and schools were formed.
Today, Earth Day represents an opportunity for people around the world to
recommit themselves to a healthy environment and sustainable communities.
Approximately 1 billion people celebrated Earth Day across the globe in
2007.
Earth Day is every day for everybody.
