When a “day” gets noted in day planner organizers, such as Christmas Day, Memorial Day, etc., itâ??s definitely a big deal. Such is the case with Earth Day, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary on April 22 with one of the bigger gatherings in the country happening in Madison two days before the anniversary.
“Earth Day at 40: Valuing Wisconsinâ??s Environmental Traditions, Past, Present and Future” will be a two-day conference hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies on April 20-21 at Monona Terrace.
