Statement of Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on the 41st Anniversary of Earth Day
Fri, 22 Apr 2011 00:01:00 -0500
Originally founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, the first official Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970. Forty one years later, Earth Day is now celebrated in over 175 countries. Here at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), we celebrate today, and work throughout the year to promote responsible environmental policy since the health of the American people is directly linked to a healthy environment.
