Dear Commons Community,

Today’s is Earth Day,  a global celebration that focuses on green living. The brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by the protests of the 1960s, Earth Day began as a “national teach-in on the environment” and was held on April 22 to maximize the number of students that could be reached on university campuses. 

The History Channel has an Earth Day website describing its significance, history and events going on around the world.

Let’s all pitch in and save our precious planet!

Tony
