What IS Earth Day?
In 1970, millions
of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first
"Earth Day." The event, the brainchild of Senator
Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, was designed to increase public
awareness of the world's environmental problems. Students from thousands
of colleges and universities across the United States participated in
rallies, marches, and educational programs in a show of unity
for the grassroots environmental movement.
