第一个地球日 (Earth
Day) ：1970年4月22日
对许多关心环境的人们来说，地球日使他们能够参与全国性的示威活动，对政府官员传递保护环境的消息，让官员们知道保护环境的重要性。虽然创立于1800年后期的植树节 (Arbor
Day) 与鸟类节 (Bird
Day) ，也都支持造林活动、保育活动，以及欣赏大自然的活动，不过这些节日的规模都比地球日要小。不过，在这三个节日大力推广与教育之前，已经有一些美国人知道对大自然表达深深的感激之意了。
For the many people who care for the environment, Earth Day became the first opportunity they had to join in a nationwide demonstration to send a big message to public officials--a message to tell them to protect our planet. Both Arbor Day and Bird Day (established in the late 1800s) supported forestation, conservation, and the appreciation of nature, but on a smaller scale than Earth Day. While all three of these days helped educate the general public, some Americans already had a deep appreciation of nature.
