Earth Day (held every April 22) is the perfect time for people all over the world to celebrate the planet. And in 2010, Earth Day is celebrating a milestone of its own—its 40th birthday! The eco-friendly event debuted in 1970, after Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin suggested starting a day devoted to teaching people about the importance of protecting the environment. News of the first Earth Day spread across the country, and millions of Americans participated. As the years have gone by, Nelson’s vision has reached a global scale, with more than 100 different countries participating every year! Earth Day activities vary around the world—from college campus demonstrations to recycling drives to clean-up events—but all are dedicated to the same goals: a healthy environment, clean energy options and a greener future.
