Earth Day - April 22

Earth Day is intended to be a celebration and appreciation day for the Earth’s Environment. John McConnell introduced the idea of a worldwide holiday called Earth Day at the Conference on Environment in 1969. As environmental awareness started to grow, In September 1969 Senator Gaylord Nelson at a conference in Seattle announced there would be a nationwide grassroots rally for the environment. This event was instrumental in helping push environmental issues into the national consciousness. The following year on April, 22 1970 the first Earth Day was held. The United States and many other countries continue to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd each year.

It’s now more important than ever before to do your part to protect our environment. Doing this is becoming easier every day. Did you know that there are eco-friendly versions of household cleaning products (Gaim), or that companies like Dell will let you plant a tree for every computer you buy? The government is even getting into the act by offering tax deductions for hybrid vehicles, green home improvements, and energy saving appliances. There are more and more ways to start making a difference. If we all just do a little we can accomplish a lot.
