Journal 115 – Earth Day on April 22


Today is April 22,2007. The whole world celebrates Earth Day. Each year in this day, millions of people throughout the world gather to clean up the earth.
Earth Day was first celebrated in the United States of America in 1970. That same year, the U.S. Congress established the Environmental Protection Agency.
Simultaneously, an American Congress passed the Clean Act. This law says that cars and factories have to limit the amount of air pollution they could give off.
