Happy Earth Day LHS! In Spring 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day as a way to "force environmental issues onto the national agenda." 20 million Americans demonstrated in different U.S. cities, and it worked! In December 1970, Congress authorized the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency to tackle environmental issues such as clean air and water, which later resulted in the passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. Today the Earth Day Network has a global reach with more than 20,000 partners and organizations in 190 countries. More than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day activities, making it the largest secular civic event in the world.

Earthweek Events in the Forum:
