According to some sources, the choice of April 22 in 1970 as the first Earth Day was intentional as it was also the 100th birthday celebration of Lenin. According to Leftbooks.com, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:

When Earth Day started in 1970, one of Georgia’s leading politicians tried to warn President Nixon, state governors and other national leaders that it was a Communist plot in disguise.

Others view the choice of April 22 to celebrate Earth Day as a distraction from this birthday celebrated in other parts of the world.
