More Younger Adults Are Getting Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is striking younger American adults with greater frequency, and more tumors are being detected in advanced stages, worrying shifts in the occurrence of the potentially lethal disease that are sparking calls for wider screening and prevention measures.

Meet ‘Mr. Earth Day,’ the Man Who Helped Organize the Annual Observance

Nearly 50 years after 20 million Americans participated in the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, more than 190 countries mark the annual day for raising awareness of environmental causes. And the stakes only grow as the years go by.
