Today we celebrate 50 years of Earth Day. The first official Earth Day was April 22nd, 1970. On this day 20 million Americans took action by protesting how our Earth was being treated. A response for many oil spills, pollution, and other harmful things that were being ignored. The voices were heard and this day created the Clear Water, Clean Air, and Endangered Species Acts. It also created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center, we recycle our oil and tires. We also try to be green as much as we can. We hope that you all do your part by reducing, reusing, and recycling. If you can today, spend some time outside in your backyard and look at all the beauty our planet gives us. We encourage you to do your part, any way that can be, to keep our Mother Earth protected, safe, and healthy for generations to come.
