Williams or Staci Cox (202) 225- 4572 Gwen Moore Recognizes Earth Day Milwaukee, WI – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released the following statement recognizing the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day: “This Earth Day let us remember our responsibility as individuals, as a community and as a nation to protect these precious resources that have been entrusted to us. “It has been said time and time again that ‘we must protect our land and resources, because we only have one Earth.’ This statement still holds true. If we are to leave a clean Earth for our posterity, we must embrace the principles of environmental sustainability now. Whatever resource we misuse today, will be a resource we will not have available to use tomorrow. “I urge everyone to take positive steps towards saving our Earth. Small actions, such as turning off running water and electricity, can make a big difference. I challenge all of us to do what we can to reduce our carbon footprint and create a greener world.” Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970 after former Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson helped inspire and bring about a day to recognize our responsibility to protect this earth.
