The first Earth Day achieved a feat not many events have done before. It aligned Democrats and Republicans, the rich and poor, students and leaders, all together for one cause. The support for the event helped lead to the creation of the United State Environmental Protection Agency as well as paved the way for the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered species act.
By 1990, it was a full-on celebration in the United States. However, this was the year that the event went global. Environmental issues around the world were supported including a huge call for increase of recycling efforts.
