Earth Day Quotes & Wishes

Words for the planet, marked every April 22.

Earth Day is observed every April 22, a date set by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson when he organized the first Earth Day in 1970 as a nationwide teach-in on environmental issues. An estimated 20 million Americans took part that first year, and the event helped lead to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency later that same year.
