Earth Day Fun Facts
• Exceeding all expectations, 20 million
Americans participated in the first Earth
Day observance in 1970. Celebrations
effectively stopped traffic in New York
City when 20,000 people packed Union
Square to see actor Paul Newman and hear
a speech by New York City Mayor John
Lindsay, who arrived on an electric bus.
• Throughout the 1970's, Earth Day
observances eventually led to the creation
of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the passage of
the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered
Species Acts.
• Today, Earth Day is the largest secular
holiday in the world, with more than 500
million people taking part in 174 countries
around the world.
• Google has celebrated Earth day with
animated doodles on its home page since
2001.
We, humans, are trying very hard to decode
the mysteries of space and reach other
planets. But throughout the vastness of
space, our precious tiny planet is the only
place that can harbor life. Right now, it's
the only place we have got. And it needs
saving from the very species that claim to
be the most intelligent on this planet. Earth
Day is not just a movement, it's a hope that
everything's not lost. That we still care for
our planet and are ready to do whatever it
takes to protect it.
