Earth Day 2024 - Monday, April 22nd
2020 marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Our celebration looked a little different this year with stay-at-home orders in affect, but we had put together some activities and resources so the whole family can celebrate even while social distancing. In 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 we continue to celebrate Earth Day Everyday!
“On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet.
The first Earth Day in 1970 launched a wave of action, including the passage of landmark environmental laws in the United States. The Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts were created in response to the first Earth Day in 1970, as well as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Many countries soon adopted similar laws.”
