Since its beginning in 1970, Earth Day has been based on the simple philosophy that ordinary people, acting together, can achieve extraordinary things to help protect and preserve our environment.
According to the Earth Day Network, the first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species acts.
