The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a United States
senator from Wisconsin organized a national demonstration to raise
awareness about environmental issues. Rallies took place across the
country and, by the end of the year, the U.S. government had created
the Environmental Protection Agency. By 1990, Earth Day was an
event celebrated by more than 140 countries around the globe.
You can celebrate and protect the planet at the same time. Check out

According to Green Resource Council, there is a variety

of reasons to go green, but most come back to supply and

Green building is a great place to start, as buildings

consume 14% of potable water, 40% of raw materials, and
39% of energy in the United States alone (according to
the US Green Building Council). That's 15 trillion gallons
of water and 3 billion tons of raw materials each year!
