On April 22, 1970, millions of Americans rallied together to protect the right of all of us to live free from environmental hazard and harm. On that first Earth Day, they gathered all across America on college campuses, in public parks, and State capitals galvanized by a vision of a healthier, more prosperous Nation where all people could thrive. Their untiring spirit sparked a national movement for environmental protection that endures today in the bedrock laws that protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and treasured wild places and wildlife.
Earth Day was primarily conceived and brought to life by a dedicated public servant: the late Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin.

If you haven’t seen or heard yet, today is Earth Day!
The origins of this important holiday date back to 1970, when a senator from Wisconsin, Senator Gaylord Nelson, grew concerned about the deteriorating environment in the United States. After witnessing the massive oil spill in California the year prior, Senator Nelson announced the idea for a teach-in on college campuses in hopes of sparking public consciousness about air and water pollution.
The effort eventually broadened in scope to include various organizations and groups. Earth Day inspired 20 million Americas – at the time, only 10-percent of the total population of the U.S. to take to the streets, parks, and classrooms to demonstrate against the impacts of industrial development.
