It was an exciting time. The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. The Environmental Protection Agency began operation on December 2, 1970. The League of Women Voters of Washington was having discussions on how to define the term “environment” for its studies.
Much has been accomplished since 1970. However, there is much more that needs to be done, especially on climate change.
In addition to your Earth Day and Earth Day Week activities, please also consider joining an environmental organization to help it in its work. Here are some suggestions:
Environmental Working Group
Sierra Club
Friends of the Earth
Environmental Defense Fund
The Nature Conservancy
Natural Resources Defense Council
National Audubon Society
Rainforest Action Network
Earth Justice
Earth Island Institute
Happy Earth Day 2021.
