Earth Day is Sunday. How Will You Celebrate?

The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life to speak out against the deterioration of the environment and demand change. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was created, the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts were passed, and the modern environmental movement was born.

More than 1 billion people in 192 countries participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it
the largest civic observance in the world.  This year, in the face of global inaction on pressing
environmental problems, we must harness that power.
