April Eco-Tip
Earth Day, April 20, 2024
The first Earth Day was on April 22 in 1970. Senator Nelson, junior senator from Wisconsin, announced the idea for a teach-in on college campuses. Denis Hayes, a young activist, was recruited by Senator Nelson to organize the campus teach-ins and to scale the idea to a broader public. The decades that followed saw substantial environmental legislation enacted. Earth Day continues to be an important motivation for environmental activity. Join one of the local activities on Earth Day.
