CANTON — St. Lawrence County legislators have proclaimed April 22 as Earth Day.
Officials signed the proclamation during the March 11 operations committee meeting.
Legislators say they traditionally emphasized the preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural and the man-made environment within the county.
2024 will mark the 54th anniversary of Earth Day.
Officials say since 1970 Earth Day "has increased awareness of the planet we live on, pollution, climate change, endangered species and many other environmental issues."
In 1971, legislators established the Environmental Management Council (EMC), which has worked to advise legislators about environmental matters affecting the county, officials say.
Officials also noted that the EMC, in conjunction with Earth Day, will encourage public participation in environmentally responsible activities and educational programs.
