And we changed the world for the better, by creating clean air and clean water laws \u2014 with the help of scientists, policy leaders, and a movement that couldn&#8217;t be stopped.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s environmental threats of extreme climate change, pollution to our air and water can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, the Earth Day Network, the U.S Department of State\u2019s Eco-Capitals Forum, and The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars are launching Earth Challenge 2020, the world&#8217;s most accessible and transparent citizen science database portal ever created.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Science really created the first Earth Day, because it came at a time when scientists started to understand the impacts of industrial development on our planet.
