CALL TO ACTION

The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. The first Earth Day increased environmental awareness in America, and in July of 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency was established by special executive order to regulate and enforce national pollution legislation. Earth Day also led to the passage of the Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Check out these resources from the CGP:
