~Environmental Resources Available Earth Day and Every Day of the Year via EBSCOhost®~

IPSWICH, Mass. — April 20, 2011 — Since 1970, the 22nd of April has marked the anniversary of what many consider to be the birth of the modern environmental movement. Earth Day inspires awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. EBSCO Publishing offers a diverse selection of environmental resources that can assist with environmental protection, sustainability efforts and other green initiatives on Earth Day and every day.

Environmental awareness and appreciation is certainly becoming more of a priority not only for local/national governments and corporations but also for individuals.
