Last April, individuals throughout the USA as well as the entire world commemorated the best thing about nature, our rivers and mountains, as well as wildlife. The original Earth Day was inspired by founder Gaylord Nelson, former U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after observing the actual destruction of the 1969 huge oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. In that period of protests in opposition to war and social injustice, hundreds of thousands rallied all over the US to the first Earth Day to demand change. This particular open public demonstration of love for nature resulted in the development of the Environmental Protection Agency and also the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
