Earth Day is now a global event, but its origins are somewhat humble. Prior to the 1960s, awareness of the link between public health and pollution was minimal. However, according to EarthDay.org, the 1962 publication of Silent Spring by American marine biologist, writer and conservationist Rachel Carson was a watershed moment for the environmental movement. The book did much to raise awareness of the effects of pollution on public health. Indeed, the publication of Carson's book proved a pivotal step toward the eventual establishment of Earth Day in 1970, which EarthDay.org characterizes as the dawn of the modern environmental movement. April 22, 2025 is Earth Day!

Town Of Babylon Warns Residents About Scammers Posing As Town Employees
The Town of Babylon is reminding residents to be vigilant after reports of scammers posing as town employees to gain access to homes. All official Town of Babylon employees carry government-issued ID badges and will always present them upon request.
Residents should never allow anyone claiming to be a Town worker into their home without first verifying their identity. If there is any doubt, residents can call 311 to confirm whether an individual is a legitimate Town employee.
“We take the safety of our residents very seriously,” said Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “No one should feel pressured to let a stranger into their home. If you have any concerns, ask for ID and call 311—we are happy to verify any Town employee’s credentials.”
The Town urges residents to take the following precautions:
• Ask to see ID –All official Town employees will carry Town-issued identification.
• Verify legitimacy –Call 311 to confirm if someone is a Town
employee.
• Report suspicious activity – If someone refuses to show ID or seems suspicious, do not let them in and call local law enforcement immediately. This warning follows a recent incident in which a West Babylon resident was scammed and burglarized by individuals falsely claiming to be Town workers. The Town of Babylon encourages residents to stay informed and share this message with friends and neighbors.
