Celebrities Earth Day Mark Earth Day 2019: What Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris & George Takei Have To Say

Originally established in 1970, Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide that rallies people to the protection of our environment, which is constantly being threatened by pollution and global warming.
