April 22, 1970, marked the first Earth Day, which awakened nearly 20 million Americans from all walks of life to launch the modern environmental movement. From that first Earth Day came the passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and many other environmental laws. Today the Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 75,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.
