More than 20 million Americans will celebrate Earth Day, and Planet vs. Plastics on Monday, April 22. That is a lot of people celebrating and increasing the human carbon footprint. To put this into perspective, the world population has increased 121% since 1970, according to OvershootDay.org.
Environmental issues were the focus of the first Earth Day in April 1970. The movement prompted many environmental laws, including preventing excessive air pollution via the Clean Air Act and sustaining wildlife through the Endangered Species Act.

While the scholarship search and application world is digital today, there was a time when scholarship reference books were printed and used. These big books were available for purchase until the early 2,000s and were oftentimes outdated soon after they were published; they were not sustainable or environmentally friendly tools.
Fastweb was one of the first digital scholarship databases for students and parents to use. We're proud to have eliminated non-sustainable scholarship books.
