On Earth Day, we celebrate all the gifts the world and nature make available to us. We recognize our complete dependence on its bounty. And we acknowledge the need for good stewardship to preserve its fruits for future generations.
Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and livable place.
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.
In celebration of this Earth Day, I encourage all Members of the House to support legislation aimed at investing in the improvement of water quality in our Nation's lakes, rivers, streams and estuaries.
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.
Every day is Earth Day, and I vote we start investing in a secure climate future right now.
Well, perhaps the greatest achievement, and we didn't know it at the time, was we held an Earth Day in 1970, and out of that Earth Day a lot of students got involved in saving the environment, or trying to.
Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.
One billion people in 175 countries will mark Earth Day. That puts tea parties in perspective, doesn't it?
Ahh, Earth Day, the only day of the year where being able to hacky-sack will get you laid.
