Description
The first “Earth Day” was established by environmental activists in 1970 to awaken the country and its lawmakers to the need for protecting our environment and conserving our natural resources. Response to the event was overwhelming as thousands of concerned citizens participated in community activities across the nation to show their support for the movement.
On Earth Day, April 22, 2010, environmentalists around the world celebrated the 40th anniversary of what is considered the modern environmental movement. This keychain shaped like a green foot was produced by the U.S. Department of Energy for the event.
