Describe the circumstances that led to the creation of Earth Day.
What will be an ideal response?
During the 1960s and 1970s, a series of mounting environmental crises and additional government studies brought amplified calls to action from both citizens' groups and elected officials. U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisconsin) responded by founding Earth Day. He inspired a huge grassroots movement with a day of educational rallies in Washington, D.C.; on April 22, 1970, more than 200,000 people gathered on the National Mall. Earth Day continues today and now involves yearly celebrations and teach-ins involving millions of people worldwide.
