International Earth Day 2005 was supposed occur on March 20, 2005, at 7:33 AM EST, in line with the Spring Equinox, the first day of spring¹. Plans for its first celebarations were announced at the November 1969 UNESCO Conference on the Environment. The first Earth Day was celebrated on March 21, 1970 in the City of San Francisco and other Northern California Cities. On 21 March 1971, UN Secretary General U Thant rang the United Nations Peace Bell, starting the annual celebration of the Earth Day at United Nations².

However in 1970, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson, proposed the first nationwide environmental protest on 22 April³, starting Earth Day 1970, which to this day, the United States chooses to observe instead.

Well Americans are always wanting to do things their own way, not wanting to concur with international bodies. And people still wonder why anti-America sentiments are so strong.
