FAQ
WHY DO WE CELEBRATE EARTH DAY ON 22 APRIL?
Earth Day was a response to the oil spills, smoggy skies, and polluted waters that were becoming an issue during this time. A seed was planted that we needed to do more to raise awareness about the environment. April 22nd was chosen because it was in between college’s spring breaks and final exams.
Who Started Earth Day?
Senator Gaylord Nelson, the junior senator from Wisconsin, was inspired by the student anti-war movement and wanted to infuse that energy into public consciousness about water and air pollution. He persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair, and they recruited young activist Denis Hayes to organize campus teach-ins on April 22.
What Is the Largest Secular Observance in the World?
With more than a billion people participating in activities each year, Earth Day is the largest secular observance in the world. Now, with digital and social media, more people than ever are ready to join together to fight climate change.
