The main accomplishment of Earth Day and its related celebrations has been to:
1] Increase awareness of issues related to environmentalism, conservation and sustainability;
2] Re-brand environmentalism from something for extremist confrontation to something embraceable by responsible people everywhere;
3] Make people aware that they are stakeholders and participants, not bystanders;
In effect, Earth Day has helped raise the baseline in the public conscientiousness with respect to matters that have, or may have, an environmentally-related impact. That in turn has created a public mindset willing to drive policies aimed at cleaner air, cleaner water, recycling, etc. These policies range from federal legislation such as the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act, to local efforts such as recycling, preservation and cleanup.
