Myths! Lies! Recycling scams? Discover the real story behind the first Earth Day celebration and some of the biggest US climate catastrophes--and their solutions! Don't miss the award-winning History Smashers series as they get to the truth on the biggest environmental fibs!

In April 1970, twenty million people grabbed their rakes, gloves, and recycling bins to celebrate the first Earth Day. Since that environmental kickoff, nature has never been in better shape. RIGHT?

WRONG! The real deal is a bit muddier than that. It’s true that the first Earth Day encouraged people around the globe to clean up their act when it came to the environment. But activists have been working for centuries to save the planet! Native people across the world developed sustainable farming practices, women in eighteenth-century India stood up to protect trees, and amateur scientist Eunice Foote discovered the science behind global warming all the way back in the 1850s!

Join the History Smashers team to bust history's biggest misconceptions and figure out what in the world really went down before (and after!) the first Earth Day—and how you can join the fight to protect the environment.

"Reproductions of historical images, black-and-white illustrations, and comics panels enhance this entertaining, informative, and well-paced work....As comprehensive as it is engaging." —Kirkus Reviews

"Informative and fast-paced....A strong purchase for middle and high school collections needing more books on ­environmentalism and climate change." —School Library Journal

"[P]rovides solid information, debunks a few climate-catastrophist claims, and should help assuage eco-anxiety." —Booklist
