Earth Day, marked annually on April 22nd, traces its roots to growing environmental concerns in the 1960s. Senator Gaylord Nelson played a pivotal role in its inception, inspired by an offshore oil spill and a desire to raise awareness through a national “teach-in” on the environment. The first Earth Day in 1970 garnered immense public support, leading to increased pressure on the U.S. Congress to address pollution and the enactment of significant legislation like the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Over the decades, Earth Day has evolved into a global event, mobilizing action in over 192 countries. In 2000, it focused on climate change, and this year’s theme highlights the threat posed by plastics to our environment.
