On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day, 25 million people joined around the country to demand a safer, cleaner and healthier world. As a result, Congress passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Superfund Act. Today, these landmark statutes are under attack.
