Earth Day |
||
| April 22nd, a day to celebrate the
environment. The first Earth Day was organized in 1970 to promote
the ideas of ecology, encourage respect for life on earth, and highlight
growing concern over pollution of the soil, air and water. It was
founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an nationwide teach-in day on
the environment in a speech to a fledgling conservation group in
Seattle.
This year will mark the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. Keep recycling and buying green. It's good for the earth.
