| Earth Day 2015 Today |
SAN ANTONIO - Wednesday is Earth Day 2015, a celebration honoring nature and the role we play in keeping the planet clean.
Earth Day's history dates back to the 1970's. It was created as a day of "education of environmental issues."
Earth Day also coincided with the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency along with acts such as the Clean Air Act.
President Obama will head to the Florida Everglades Wednesday to promote his climate change policies.
Meanwhile, the financial website Wallethub.com has ranked the most and least eco-friendly states.
It links eco-friendliness to long-term financial stability in areas such as energy consumption and disaster cleanup costs.
Wallethub looked at things like air quality, water quality and gasoline consumption.
Vermont got the top spot with high scores in both environmental quality and eco-friendly behavior categories.
Texas we came in near last -- ranked 49th out of 50. Louisiana was at the bottom of the list.
