Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970 and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year on this day. Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day which aims to urge local action and increase awareness about the state of the world's environment.
