The first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, was a student protest to raise public awareness about the impact of pollution that presented real and disastrous challenges for the healthy future of our world. The protest sparked a movement that initiated the Environmental Protection Agency and ongoing substantive legislative efforts that have helped clean our lands and waters.
Earth Day is now celebrated internationally by folks seeking solutions to combat climate change and to sustain a healthy earth.

Slow Food East End supports healthy farming practices which are essential to a sustainable future, join us on Earth Day to meet folks in our own community who are leading the way.
