Happy Earth Day!
Did you know Earth Day started in California? That's right! Following a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA, Senator Gaylord Nelson announced the idea for a teach-in on college campuses and to the media. He wanted to infuse the energy of student anti-war protests with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution. The first official Earth Day happened in 1970, making it the largest secular day of protest!
This Earth Day, we join Earthday.org in bringing attention to the overproduction and use of plastic and its impact on our planet. Join the fight to reduce plastic production by 60% by 2040! Let's beat plastic pollution together! 🌎❤️♻️
