Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22, and is known as a modern environmental movement since 1970. By the end of the first Earth Day in 1970, the United States Environmental Protection Agency was created and environmental laws such as – the National Environmental Education Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Clean Air Act – were passed. Today, Earth Day is observed by more than a billion people globally as a day of action to change global, national, and local policy along with human behavior.
