It's Earth Day!


Recommended Posts

I will mark Earth Day as I have for the past 20 years. I will let may doings accumulate in the toilet bowl until evening and them flush the mess down which expresses just what I feel about Earth Day.

From the article Jonathan linked to:

[bold emphasis added]

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Sen. Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day in the spring of 1970 as a way to bring national awareness to the fact that, at the time, there were no legal or regulatory mechanisms in place to protect the environment. About 20 million participants at various Earth Day events across the U.S. made Earth Day a success, and in December of 1970, Congress authorized the creation of a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues - the EPA.
