We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.
Let me explain you how Earth day was originated and how we celebrate it.
The idea came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after knowing about the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. He realized that if he could inspire the people about air and water pollution.Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, and enlisted Denis Hayes as national coordinator. Hayes built a national staff of 85 to promote events across the land.

As a result, on the 22nd of April, many people took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.
