On April 22nd, 1970, senator Gaylor Nelson founded Earth Day as a way "to put the environment into the political ‘limelight’ once and for all." Now, 41 years later we are still struggling with conservation and sustainable development but there is a lot of momentum going on. People from all walks of life are moving towards achieving more healthy life styles. Scientists, designers, businesses, teachers, politicians, you and me and so many others. Action is the key, from the big picture to small acts of every day life. What will you pledge to help reduce your impact on the planet?
Check out some great information and initiatives by going to the EPA website.
Or Google "Earth Day" to see all the news, events and information about today's celebrations.
