History of Earth Day

The idea for Earth Day was initially birthed in 1969, when a United States Legislator called Gaylord Nelson, experienced the impacts of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA. He appealed to action for all Americans to protect the environment in 1970, and thousands of colleges and universities throughout the United States organized protests for a healthy and balanced, sustainable Earth. This included air pollution from manufacturing facilities and also freeways, along with the loss of habitats for animals and animal extinction. As a result of these nationwide rallies, the initial Earth Day aided develop the United States Environmental Protection Agency and also the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Act into law.

Nowadays, we have similar concerns, and unfortunately, they are messier than that original oil spill. Raising natural disasters, extreme weather, and rising global temperature levels may seem impossible for one human, let alone millions or even billions of humans, to reduce, or stop. It has been reported that coral reefs are dying, we see pictures of animals on land and in the ocean with trash in their stomaches or around their body, and also company factories as well as large business around the globe remain to pollute our air and our living spaces. But a small action, like grabbing trash on the sidewalk that might have otherwise ended up around the neck of an animal or in the sea, still makes an effect-- an action in the right direction, and an important change.
