Today is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. The environmentally-themed day was “founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson [of Wisconsin] as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970.” Of course, everyday should be Earth Day, but today represents a special remembrance of where our livelihoods, our goods and services, or our well-being derives. The images below represent a mere sample of Earth’s unique possessions, and these images are a reminder of why it’s important to conserve our one and only home and her unique natural possessions.
