Yesterday was the 41st Anniversary of Earth Day, a day that was established to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Initially the focus was on the United States, but, twenty years later, it became an international event.
This year there were and are a number events that have been held or will soon be held throughout New England, the rest of the United States, and numerous other nations throughout the world. Some of these are sponsored by local (or other) governments, others by non-profit organizations, others involve citizens doing specific projects on their own.
