What We Like About Earth Day

Modern humans have polluted the environment more than any other species in history. Every year, Americans waste millions of tons of resources on single-use packaging, harsh chemicals and pollutants, non-biodegradable products, factory farms, mass production, gas-powered transportation and other aspects of their daily lives. Most people have no idea how much garbage they accumulate in their lifetimes. For some people, a single day's worth of trash is enough to fill an entire garbage can—and when they throw it out, the trash sits in landfills for centuries.

In recent years, scientists and conservationists have tried to educate people about the importance of saving the planet. Some businesses have launched "Go Green" initiatives that use less waste and focus on sustainable products. Others work directly with sustainable farms instead of mass factory farms that pollute the environment. As individuals, millions of American citizens have bought biodegradable products, invested in electric vehicles and made efforts to reduce their waste as much as possible.

Unfortunately, issues like mass consumption and climate change continue to threaten the environment. Every year, millions of people around the globe celebrate Earth Day to bring awareness to environmental issues. This day gives people the chance to celebrate the planet, appreciate everything it's done for humanity and remind themselves that they only have one Earth—and it's their job to take care of it.

History of Earth Day

Earth Day, first held in 1970, was born out of the environmental movement of the 1960s. Books like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" (1962) and disasters like the oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast in January of 1969 helped spur Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson to take action. He recruited activists to organize and hold teach-ins on college campuses around the country about the importance of conservation. The date chosen for the first teach-in was April 22, 1970. Earth Day is held on April 22 each year in recognition of the first event.
