Several offices of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP are celebrating Earth Month and Earth Day through participation in events around the world. Greenberg Traurig is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Green Power Partnership Program and powers its U.S. offices with 100% renewable energy.
Earth Day was created in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson to draw attention to ongoing issues with toxic air and waste. Twenty million Americans participated in the first Earth Day, eventually leading to the formation of the EPA and then the passing of the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
