Earth Day a long standing tradition By Mike Johnston TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER - The month of April is known for two things: showers bringing May flowers and Earth Day on April 22. Earth Day is celebrated in more than 180 countries worldwide, by about 500 million people staging events about enviromental issues. Locally, many grade schools are getting in on the action by having garbage pick-up days in school yards and having litterless lunch days. Exeter Public School has a unique approach - "Tote Your Own Trash Day." Students will carry any garbage they generate around with them as a visual reminder of how much waste the average per- son generates. Earth Day, also known as Earth Week and Earth Month, was started by Wisconsin Gov. Gaylord Nelson. It was an idea that evolved over seven years. In 1962 Nelson became troubled that the environ- ment was not an issue in American politics. He flew to Washington to persuade President John F. Kennedy to bring attention to the issue by going on a conservation tour to raise awareness. The tour did- n't put the issue on the national agenda but it started the process which would eventually bloom into the first Earth Day in 1970. With the help of Harvard University student Denis Hayes, Nelson organized a demonstration on a nationwide scale, attracting 20 million demonstra- tors and thousands of schools and communities across the United States. The first international Earth Day was in 1990 and now it's celebrated annually. In the spring, you love how it feels outside. Ever wish it felt the same way inside year round?
