April 22, 1970. We only have one earth, so we need to take care of her. That's what Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin believed. He was disturbed that an issue as important as our environment was not addressed in politics or by the media, so he created the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970. An estimated 20 million people nationwide attended festivities that day.
But the April 22 date for the first Earth Day also stemmed from a much-earlier observance: Arbor Day, which began in Nebraska in 1872. The date of Earth Day, April 22, stems from an earlier observance, Arbor Day. The most common practice on Arbor Day was the planting of trees. Here is Arbor Day at N.Y.
