| Celebrate the environment while also promoting global awareness with Earth Day themed promotional products! Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 by the Environmental Teach-In and Senator Gaylord Nelson, a strong environmental activist. Largely supported and organized at the grassroots level, over 20 million Americans came out in response to and in support of the movement in peaceful protests favoring environmental reform. Many acts of legislation were passed in regards to the environment following Earth Day, such as the Clean Air Act, laws protecting water and wild lands, as well as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Having been declared by Congress as a national day to celebrate the earth, the message of Earth Day has lived on since the 1970s and will continue to have a great impact in the wake of necessary improvements in environmental protection laws due to global warming, increasing pollution, etc. |
