Earth Day began in Wisconsin. On April 22, 1970, Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin U.S. senator, initiated the first Earth Day to organize a nationwide public demonstration. His objective was to get the attention of politicians and force issues of environmental protection into the legislative forefront. The first Earth Day was celebrated by more than 20 million individuals and is credited with spearheading the modern environmental movement.
