The first Earth Day was a success because 20 million Americans demonstrated their outrage for the state of the environment. Together, we can make Earth Day 2010 a pivotal moment in the environmental movement. It is time to enact comprehensive climate legislation that will create American jobs, cap carbon emissions and secure our nation's future. - Earth Day Network
