Earth Day: Working Together To Protect The Environment
1A - A podcast by NPR
The first Earth Day was celebrated April 22, 1970. 55 years later, we know a lot more about the harmful effect human civilization has on our natural environment. But the desire to find solutions – big and small – continues. We asked you about your contributions to helping the environment around you. Many of you told us of local solutions to this global challenge. Those types of stories are the focus of The New York Times series "50 States, 50 Fixes." The series highlights environmental solutions with real results in every state.We discuss grassroot projects and the history of Earth Day with the reportes behind the series. Want to support 1A?
