The frog were correct, spring is here or at least the snow has finally melted off the lawn. And it is fitting that the snow left so you can see the ‘earth’ again for Earth Day.
Earth Day began in 1970, with a federal proclamation from U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, when 20 million people across the United States (one in ten) rallied for increased protection of the environment.
Nelson recounted in an essay shortly before he died in July 2005 at 89. “The American people finally had a forum to express its concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes, and air—and they did so with spectacular exuberance.”
