The First Earth Day

The first recognized Earth Day was April 22, 1970. It had various participants in over 2,000 colleges and universities and around 10,000 primary and secondary schools. As well, there were numerous communities in America that supported the cause. What was amazing is that over 20 million people partook in peaceful demonstrations that supported environmental improvement. Some of the demonstrations included the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
