Monday marks Earth Day, which for more than 50 years has placed a focus on clean air and water, addressing pollution and championing conservation efforts.
U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson led the creation of Earth Day in April 1970, seeking to hold a series of teach-ins across the country similar to those held at many college campuses in opposition to the Vietnam War.
The success of the first Earth Day helped push the passage of two landmark U.S. environmental laws — the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
