HAPPY EARTH DAY 50th ANNIVERSARY! 
On the first Earth Day in 1970, 20 million people in the United States took a stand to demand a better way forward for our planet. Here we are 50 years later, ready to celebrate the achievements of the environmental movement, and give each other inspiration and motivation to keep fighting the fights of climate change, environmental degradation, and justice.
