Tomorrow is the day the world celebrates Earth Day.
This year Earth Day will celebrate its 36th anniversary. While the concept has roots back to the early part of the 20th century , the founding of Earth Day is attributed to Gaylord Nelson, 1916-2005, Wisconsin’s Governor and Senator.. in 1970. Nelson was givenThe Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995 for his work.
Many cities and organizations have since adopted Earth Day Resolutions, such as:
The Earth Day Network, which was founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide.
EDN has a comprehensive website with tons of resources for use all year. The site can be viewed in more than 10 languages.
EDN provides a resource through which activists can interact and connect with other individuals and organizations.
