Earth Day Celebrates 40 Years

40 Years ago, Senator Gaylord Nelson was troubled by the idea that the state of our planet was not an issue. Then, over a period time, he started Earth Day, which celebrated it's 40th birthday yesterday. (To read more on the start of Earth Day, click here)

Earth Justice is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment, throughout the whole year.

Just because Earth Day has passed us by, does not mean we can ignore the planet. Everyone could make easy sacrifices each day to help out planet. It's as simple as recycling a can instead of throwing it in the trash, avoid lingering in the shower, or even bringing reusable bags to the grocery store.

These things are not a huge inconvience and could make a huge difference if everyone participated. Click here for more easy tips to help the planet.
