Today is Earth Day
Today, April 22 is Earth Day.
The story goes that Earth Day was conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson after a trip he took to Santa Barbara right after that horrific oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast in 1969. He was so outraged by what he saw that he went back to Washington and passed a bill designating April 22 as a national day to celebrate the earth.
The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. This is the day the environmentalists celebrate to help make our planet “greener”. Won’t you think of one thing you can do to improve the health of our planet? Have a great day!
