About Earth Day
On April 22nd, people around the nation will celebrate "Earth Day" by building awareness and renewing their commitment to build a safer, healthier and cleaner environment for all. Responding to wide spread environmental degradation, United States Senator Gaylord Nelson called for an Environmental Teach-in or Earth Day to be held on April 22, 1970. Over 20 million people participated and it is now observed each year by more than 500 million people and national governments in 175 countries. From films and documentaries on global warming and worldwide summits to discussions about changes in business practices, the environment has become a growing issue of concern. Both the government and big business are taking more aggressive steps in reducing emissions and lessening harm to the environment while Hollywood is spreading the message of awareness, but what can average consumers do to help the cause?
