The Origins of a Global Movement

The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, brought together an estimated 20 million Americans in support of environmental reform, helping catalyze the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency and landmark environmental legislation that followed. Since then, Earth Day has grown into a global observance, with a different environmental theme highlighted each year.

Modern Earth Day activities range from tree planting and community cleanups to educational events and climate advocacy campaigns.
