The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970. Earth Day is held each year to inspire awareness of world-wide environmental issues and to promote appreciation for our planet. Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson created the concept of Earth Day during the late 1960s. Senator Nelson was awarded the Medal of Freedom in September 1995 for "his public service to care about the environment."
