Earth Day 2013
The first Earth Day on April 22,
1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely
credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the
landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other
groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth
Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries
to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1
billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the
largest civic observance in the world.
