Earth Day turned 51 years old this year. On April 22, 1970, its humble beginnings occurred when Gaylord Nelson conducted the first environmental awareness protest against industry-caused air pollution. 20 million Americans participated in the protest, spreading the importance of climate awareness in our world.
