Highlighting Diverse Collections: Earth Day
The devastating environmental impact of a massive oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 inspired the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Since then, it has grown into an international day of action to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
Every year, on April 22, Earth Day is celebrated worldwide. This day reminds us of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability and encourages us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and a brighter future.
