In 1970, a senator from the great state of Wisconsin decided that politicians and the media needed to pay more attention to the toll industrialization was taking on the environment.
That man was Gaylord Nelson, and he founded Earth Day.
Now, we celebrate the holiday every April 22 by planting trees, cleaning up local parks — and getting deals and freebies from other tree huggers.
We found nine deals to help you make the most of Earth Day 2017 this Saturday!
