Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Earth Day? Each year on April 22nd, we observe this holiday. It started in 1970 and is known as the birth of the modern environmental movement. So why is it important to you?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Looking back, it\u2019s easy to say the environment wasn’t a common concern. Industries were pouring chemicals and smoke into the air with little to no concern for the environment or its effects on people and the surrounding area. After the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, Gaylord Nelson, a US senator from Wisconsin, organized a nationwide demonstration against pollution and environmental degradation. The protest was held on April 22, 1970. Approximately 20 million Americans joined the demonstration in support of a healthier, more sustainable approach to environmental protection. And we have been celebrating Earth Day every year since.<\/p>\r\n

Earth Day is a nice reminder to look at what we are doing to promote a sustainable, healthier Earth. It reminds us to recycle, buy Earth-friendly products (like our customized notepads made from recycled paper), and help improve our planet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
