As of last week, just 52% of voters know that Earth Day is celebrated in April. (It is celebrated today, April 22). Younger voters are more likely than their elders to know it is scheduled for this month.
Twelve percent (12%) of voters consider Earth Day one of our nation's most important holidays, while 40% consider it one of the least important.
These numbers help explain why two out of three voters (66%) say it is more important to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of electricity and gas for American families than it is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thirty-one percent (31%) say reducing greenhouse gas emissions is more important.
