Today across the world it is Earth Day and this is day each year that marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Actually the first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This in turn led to the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species acts. Earth Day became a global event in 1990 and gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide. From previous Earth Days a lot of progress has been made to protect our planet.
