April 22, 2010 is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. The first Earth Day, in 1970, marked the beginning of what we now know as the modern environmental movement. Earth Day is a day for environmental awareness. Hundreds of thousands of environmental activists join together in public spaces all across the globe to remind us that we must take care of our planet.
