Originally proposed by peace activist John McConnell at a UNESCO conference in San Francisco in 1969, Earth Day was sanctioned by the United Nations in 1970 and became an international observance in 1990. By its 50th anniversary in 2020, more than 100 million people across 192 countries celebrated Earth Day in a multi-platform online event.
Louisvillians can invest in our planet by shopping local, eliminating single-use plastics, using reusable packing materials and bags, and, of course, shopping locally from independently owned and operated businesses. Earth Day at ARTPORTAL brings all of that movement into one space
