April 22, 2010 marks the fortieth anniversary of Earth Day.  Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day, was a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin.  He proposed the first national environmental protest in 1970 “to shake up the political establishment and force this issue onto the national agenda.”  On April 22, 1970 twenty million Americans took to the streets, parks and halls to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment.

Whether you are a fervent protester, committed recycler or unsure where to begin, the fact is keeping our communities and this planet clean by living sustainably is vital to our health and well being today and for future generations.  While Earth Day made this issue a national political agenda item, the need for clean water, healthy air and soil is not partisan…it’s human.

Get out and enjoy spring.  There a many activities to celebrate Earth Day beginning this weekend.  To find events near you, visit Earthday.net

Feel free to post back and let us know what you did to celebrate.  We love to hear from you.
