Why is Earth Day so important? I think this quote from Gaylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day, sums it up pretty well:
The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity… that’s all there is. That’s the whole economy. That’s where all the economic activity and jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world.
So how can you get involved?
