As the millennium approached, another campaign was put forward on global warming and clean energy. 5,000 environmental groups in 184 countries celebrated in festivities combining the glamour of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990.
Earth Day 2000 used the power of the Internet to organize activists and
sent world leaders the loud and clear message that citizens around the world wanted quick and decisive action on global warming and clean energy.
The first Earth Day was effective at raising awareness about environmental issues and transforming public attitudes.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “Public opinion polls indicate that a permanent change in national priorities followed Earth Day 1970.
When polled in May 1971, 25 percent of the U.S. public declared protecting the environment to be an important goal, a 2,500 percent increase over 1969.”
Earth Day kicked off the “Environmental decade with a bang,” as Senator Nelson later put it.
During the 1970s, a number of important pieces of environmental legislation were passed.
