Happy Earth Day from the Athabasca Watershed Council! 
 
Earth Day was originally established on April 22, 1970 in the United States as a national holiday, then recognized as a worldwide holiday in 1990 in order to raise pollution awareness. Today, the Earth Day organization aims to help people and organizations around the world reduce their environmental impact.
