SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Earth Day - April 22, 2020 - marks the 50th anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement. The first Earth Day in 1970 capitalized on an emerging consciousness and public awareness of environmental concerns. For 50 years, Earth Day has inspired and mobilized individuals and organizations, across the world, to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.
The Sustainability Advisory Board, Public Works Sustainability, and Parks & Recreation Department request that the Board proclaim April 18 - 25, 2020 as Earth Week in the Town of Erie.
