In spring 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day as a way to force the issue of protecting our environment onto the national consciousness and raise awareness of the need to ensure access to clean water, air, and to protect our environment from becoming unlivable. Since then, Earth Day has become a world-wide celebration of caring for the world in which we live and educating people of ways to keep our Earth clean and safe for people, plants, and animals.
