Happy Earth Day!
The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 when a Wisconsin State Senator organized a national demonstration to raise awareness of environmental issues.
By 1990, Earth Day was an event celebrated in more than 140 countries around the world.
You can celebrate and protect our planet at the same time. Recycle, plant a tree, turn off lights you don't need, conserve water, volunteer your time to pick up trash in parks and spread the word.
Be a Planet Hero!
