Earth Day

April 14, 2009


Earth Day was first introduced in 1970, by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. Nelson, along with millions of other people, lead protests and rallies to raise awareness of environmental issues. Nelson wanted to “shake up the political establishment and force this issue on the national agenda”. Today, millions of people around the world continue to participate in Earth Day to help promote a healthier, more sustainable environment. The more that communities become involved, the more the message will spread. On April 19, at 1:00 pm, Grey Roots is giving away free pine seedlings in honour of Earth Day. Locally, we need to get more involved and organize Earth Day events in our community. Celebrating Earth Day as a community will show our support for a great cause. Together we can make a difference.
