Earth Day in the U.S. began in 1970 as 20 million Americans, from all walks of life, mobilized to change our environment. Today, Earth Day is celebrated by more than a billion people per year in 192 countries. Keep Bondurant Beautiful, a local event in honor of Earth Day is Bondurant's largest volunteer Earth Day effort.
