47th Earth Day Celebrated With Global Activities
Earth Day on April 22 marks an annual event to raise awareness about pollution and the environment. It began in 1970 after Senator Gaylord Nelson’s 1969 oil spill concerns, rallying 20 million Americans and helping spur major environmental laws and the EPA. Modern participation tops a billion worldwide, though public opinion on climate action remains mixed.
