Earth Day 2001 Events

Background

|
On April 22 each year for more than three decades, Americans have
paused on Earth Day to celebrate the rich blessings of our Nation's
natural resources and to take stock of our stewardship of nature's
gifts. Each of us understands that our prosperity as a Nation will
mean little if our legacy to future generations is a world of polluted
air, toxic waste, and vanished forests.
During the past 31 years, we have made progress on protecting our
environment. America is truly blessed with a vibrant and flourishing
environment. But with blessings, come responsibility. There is much
more to do. As we celebrate Earth Day on this April 22, 2001, I
encourage Americans to join me in renewing our commitment to
protecting the environment and leaving our children and grandchildren
with a legacy of clean water, clean air, and natural beauty.
