Celebrate Earth Day with Green, Eco-Friendly Lighting

The first Earth Day was created in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson, a US Senator from Wisconsin, to encourage an appreciation of the natural environment and promote a change to more energy-efficient and eco-friendly practices. Earth Day is observed every year on April 22nd in 175 countries and may be one of the largest secular holidays in the world.
