Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a day funded by the u.s. Senator Gaylord Nelson to inspire appreciation and awareness for environmental causes. Every year, more than 500 million people in 164 countries participate in Earth Day festivities!

While great progress has been made for the last 40 years, climate change brings new challenges. To address these threats, we must fundamentally change the way we innovate, produce and consume. Change can be as little as turning off the lights when you leave a room, riding your bike instead of taking the bus, or planting trees.
