Earth Day began as a protest. In 1963, former U.S senator Gaylord Nelson worried about our planet. He knew that our world was getting dirty and many of our plants and animals were dying. He wanted people to show that they were worried about the environment. This was in September, 1969. Senator Nelson wrote letters to all of the colleges and put a special article in magazines. It was to tell about the special day he had planned. Soon, the New York Times made an announcement that there would be a national day for the environment.
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. Gaylord Nelson did not expect Earth Day to be so popular. However, nearly 20 million people attended. Since then, Earth Day has continued to change and grow. Later, the United Nations decided that Earth Day should be celebrated every year.
Earth Day became a success because of the ordinary people who were concerned about the environment. In 1963, Gaylord Nelson was the only person who talked about the environment. But many people in government now pay attention to the environment because of the Earth Day.
