Earth Day 2012

Earth Day was founded in 1970 by US Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin after witnessing the devastation caused by a massive oil spill in California in 1969.

He announced his idea for a "national teach-in on the environment" and first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970 with 20 million people attending rallies and demonstrations across the country. The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
