The Origins of Earth Day
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, sparked by growing concerns about pollution, deforestation, and other environmental issues. U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed a national day to focus on the environment, inspired by the energy of student movements at the time. The inaugural Earth Day led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and landmark legislation like the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. Since then, Earth Day has grown into a global movement, with over 190 countries participating each year.
Why April 22?
The date of April 22 was chosen for Earth Day because it falls at a time when many schools are in session, and the weather is generally mild in the Northern Hemisphere, encouraging outdoor activities. It also coincides with the spring season, symbolizing renewal and growth—key themes of environmental stewardship.
