With 'going green' becoming more and more popular, Earth Day 2009 is sure to be a hit in every city. Earth Day is the annual celebration of the environment and it falls on April 22. The US version of Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970. Fresh off the heels of the protests of the 1960s, Earth Day 1970 boasted 20 million participants - all sharing the common goals of being kind to the earth and treading lightly upon the resources we have. Today, the April 22 Earth Day is celebrated by 500 million people in more than 170 countries.
Folks in the greater Houston area can get in on Earth Day events as well. To find out how and where, read more here.
