Back in 1970, the U.S. Senator named Gaylord Nelson had a lightbulb moment: why not dedicate a day to our planet? This idea sparked the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, rallying 20 million Americans to advocate for a healthier environment. Fast forward to today, and Earth Day has blossomed into a global movement, inspiring over a billion people to take action annually. earthday.org
