Every day is Earth Day at the PUD

On April 22, 1970, over 25 million Americans took part in the first Earth Day events, including a march in Washington, DC. As a result of the first Earth Day, the Environmental Protection Agency was formed, and the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts were signed.

Today, we must continue to focus our attention on our environment and improve the habitat in which we live. There is more information available today than ever before on environmental issues.

At the PUD, every day is Earth Day. One of our core goals centers on our environment. We have a variety of residential and commercial/industrial programs and services that benefit our environment and the Earth’s limited resources:
