NOTE: In 1970, Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and activist John McConnell separately asked Americans to join in the grassroots demonstration with the goal of raising awareness about mankind’s role in protecting our natural world. McConnell originally chose the spring equinox (March 21, 1970) and Nelson chose April 22, which ended up becoming the official celebration date. (Given that the date of the spring equinox changes over time, it could have made things more complicated to go with that date!)

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day, 20 million Americans ventured outdoors and protested in favor of a more eco-conscious society. Though Earth Day started out as more of a political movement, today it has become a popular day for many communities to gather together and clean up litter, plant trees, or simply reflect on the beauty of nature.
