You may not know this but the U.S. Government has only been legally governing the protection our environment for around 50 years!
The Environmental Protection Act (1970), the Environmental Protection Agency (1970), Endangered Species Act (1973) and Earth Day have only been around since the 1970's.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of Earth Day.
What are you doing to celebrate? How are you working to make the world better? How can you reduce your impact on the environment and the world around you?
There are many sites dedicated to ways in which students and families can do their part. Please also remember Earth Day doesn't have to be recognized on one day. EARTH DAY IS EVERYDAY.
Please visit the Sierra Club to see how you can take you part. They are providing videos, tips, and activities. Keep Austin Beautiful also has local ideas for Earth Day At Home.
