Earth Day’s 45th anniversary could be the most exciting year in environmental history. The year in which economic growth and sustainability join hands. It’s our turn to lead. So our world leaders can follow by example.

The first one was held on April 22, 1970 in America.

An estimated 20 million people took part in rallies across the US for the first Earth Day.

It is credited as the beginning of the modern environmental movement.

The event was founded by former US senator Gaylord Nelson, after seeing the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.
