Why was this Earth Day different from all other Earth Days?
There were many reasons. For one thing, this year’s national celebration of the planet turned 50. For another, this Earth Day, celebrated on Wednesday, Apr. 22, occurred in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Consequently, Earth Day 2020 was the first to take place entirely online.
But lest you think a virtual celebration of Earth Day is less momentous than the usual live Earth Day observances, think again.
