Little bit from the HISTORY of EARTH DAY

Close to 48 years ago, on 22 April 1970, millions of people took to the streets to protest the negative impacts of 150 years of industrial development.

In the US and around the world, smog was becoming deadly and evidence was growing that pollution led to development delays in children. Biodiversity was in decline as a fusillade of the heavy use of pesticides and other pollutants.

The global ecological awareness was growing, and the US Congress and President Nixon responded quickly. In July of the same year, they created the Environmental Protection Agency, and robust environmental laws such as the Lean WAter Act and the Endangered Species Act, among many.

 

EARTH DAY IS NOW a GLOBAL EVENT EACH YEAR.
