The founding of Earth Day in the U.S. in 1970 was, according to many, the beginning of the environmental movement – a recognition of environmental issues and problems and the need for actions taken to address them.
Since that first Earth Day, a slew of environmental regulations and laws have been enacted, such as the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act and Toxic Substances Control Act. Recycling has become a standard habit in many American homes. Water conservation in ways both large and small -- from statewide policies to low flow toilets - is a hot topic.
