Hi friends!
Earth Day is quickly approaching, and this year we’re celebrating Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary!
The history of Earth Day dates back to April 22, 1970, when 20 million Americans actively demanded change in response to an environment in crisis. The result of the first Earth Day launched a wave of action with the passing of many environmental laws including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, as well as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. This prompted many other countries to implement similar laws and led to Earth Day celebrations around the globe. (You can learn more at earthday.org.)
Today, it’s up to each of us to make everyday Earth Day and implement changes, whether small or big, in our everyday lives to protect the Earth. Visit our Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park blog for tips on how you can be good environmental stewards of the Earth. Just remember to follow state and county guidelines to safely celebrate Earth Day on April 22!
That’s all I have for today, friends! I’ll see you all soon for my next drop of water wisdom!
Wally
