2023 will be the 53rd year the United States recognizes Earth Day. It all started when then Senator Gaylord Nelson, the junior senator from Wisconsin, led the effort for an “Earth Day” to draw attention to environmental issues that the United States and the world were facing. The first Earth Day was held on April of 1970, thus giving birth to the modern environmentalist movement.
In Tampa, EcoFest is presented by Learning Gate Community School in North Tampa. Michele Northrup, the Develop Director at Learning Gate Community School says “Learning Gate Community School is excited to partner again with MOSI to celebrate Earth Day Tampa Bay at Ecofest! We hope to inspire attendees to make eco-friendly choices and develop a deeper appreciation of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.”
