Earth Day From a Brief History
On April 22, 1970, nearly 20 million Americans rallied for a cleaner, more sustainable environment through teach in demonstrations across the country. Following that first Earth Day was a significant push for new legislation which gave birth to the Clean Air and Clean Water Act.
Earth Day has become a annual celebration in more than 185 countries around the world. More than one billion people now participate in some way like green festivals, sustainability fairs, recycling events of all kinds. Activities for Earth Day have expanded so much that the month of April is now considered Earth Month.
With these successes, Earth Day evolved into a movement for environmental causes that are truly global in scope clean air and water, global warming, etc. However, recycling has been left out.
