Welcome to Monday, April 22, Earth Day. Happy birthday to actor Jack Nicholson (1937), who spent time in Oregon filming 1975's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.' Today in 1970, the first Earth Day was held. U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin came up with the idea to promote environmental issues. Three months later, President Richard M. Nixon signed an executive order creating the Environmental Protection Agency. Expect partly sunny skies with a high near 70. Here are a few things to do as you drive your electric car today for Earth Day:
