Today is a pretty special day for us here at Arcadia. Earth Day. A day set out for all to truly appreciate the beautiful environment that we are able to enjoy and to inspire awareness of environmental health. Out of curiosity I wanted to know how Earth Day originated. After some poking around on the internet I found that it was created by Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin senator in the late 60's. He pushed an entire campaign to begin teaching the US about the effect of their lifestyles on the environment (something most new little about at the time.) It was a great success. After Earth Day was established numerous policies addressing pollution and other detriments were drafted. Also, the number and size of many non-profits and organizations focused on environmental issues grew exponentially! So, thank you Senator Nelson!
