EARTH DAY, CELEBRATED APRIL 22ND, MARKS THE INVENTION OF THE MODERN ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT IN 1970. EARTH DAY FOUNDER GAYLORD NELSON, WHO AT THE TIME WAS A U.S. SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN, HAD WITNESSED THE RAVAGES OF THE OIL SPILL IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA IN 1969. AT THAT TIME, THE PUBLIC WAS BECOMING MORE AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT LED TO AIR AND WATER POLLUTION.
WANTING TO FORCE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ONTO THE NATIONAL AGENDA, SENATOR NELSON ANNOUNCED HIS IDEA FOR AN ANNUAL EARTH DAY CELEBRATION. THIS EVENT WOULD BE A NATIONAL TEACH-IN ON THE ENVIRONMENT. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TOOK TO THE STREETS, PARKS, AND AUDITORIUMS TO DEMONSTRATE FOR A HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT.
THE FIGHT FOR A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TODAY. THE RAVAGES OF POLLUTION HAVE CAUSED SEVERE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR PLANET. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REVERSE THE EFFECTS BUT BY DOING OUR PART TO RECYCLE, RE-USE AND TO LIVE A MORE SUSTAINABLE LIFE, WE CAN SLOW DOWN THE EFFECTS.
FROM APRIL 22ND UNTIL APRIL 28TH, ABE'S MARKET WILL BE RUNNING AN EXCLUSIVE EARTH DAY SALE.
