Welcome to our
Earth Day store, celebrating Earth
Day every day.
 Earth
Day 2009 Tuesday, April 22, 2009 marks the 39th annual observance
of Earth Day.
Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson. At a conference
in Seattle in September 1969, Senator Gaylord announced that in the spring
of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf
of the environment. In the largest demonstration of its kind in history,
millions expressed their dismay over what was happening to the environment
around them and their alarm over the indifference to it by the political
leaders of the country. Thus, in April of 1970 Earth Day was born.
On September 29, 1995 Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Medal of Freedom
for his work on behalf of our environment and his organization of the
first Earth Day.
"The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest honor given to civilians
in the United States…Twenty-five years ago this year, Americans came together
for the very first Earth Day…They came together…because of one
American - Gaylord Nelson. As the father of Earth Day…He inspired
us to remember that the stewardship of our natural resources is the stewardship
of the American Dream. He is the worthy heir of the tradition of Theodore
Roosevelt…And I hope that Gaylord Nelson's shining example will illuminate
all the debates in this city for years to come."
President Bill Clinton, 9/29/95
