Today is Earth Day but it is only one of two Earth Days that are observed.
The first Earth Day was founded by peace activist John McConell in 1969 and is celebrated (and aknowledged by the UN) during the March Equinox.
The other Earth Day that is celebrated today, was founded by US politician Gaylord Nelson (Gaylord?!) to bring awareness to the state of the environment.
