Earth Day Turns 40 Today

Today the world celebrates the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a chance to celebrate the planet on which we live. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, at a time when significant environmental change was needed, particularly in cities.

Today, the health of our cities has dramatically improved, although much progress still needs to be made.

UEI is playing its part. We are proud to be working with neighborhood residents and municipalities to plant trees and restore urban greenspace, and with teachers to get students outside where they can conduct scientific studies while heightening their sense of nature and the environment.

Happy Earth Day!
