What is Earth Day and why do we celebrate it?

Earth day is finally here. Let's connect the dots.
The first Earth day happened in 1970. The idea came from Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson.
He and many others were inspired by the student anti-war protests and after witnessing a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, came up with the idea for teach-ins at universities.
Then they changed the name to Earth day and it sparked popularity.
With 20 million Americans taking to the streets to protest environmental changes. Earth Day went global in 1990, and now it's observed by more than a billion people a year as a day of action to change human behavior and create policy change.

Happy Earth Day all! I propose that the 25,000 acres that Disney holds in Florida should be renewed stipulating that half be restored to nature via restoration projects and half turned into organic farmland to feed the people and the economy. Disney's day is passed!

In CO we spray round up. All those foreign weeds brought here, gotta get 'em gone. All grass must turn brown, so many other things we can do here.
