As more and more states turn their attention to how they can do things to save the environment on a sustained, daily basis, the nation will be celebrating the 54th edition of Earth Day on March 20.
In 1970, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisconsin) organized the first Earth Day to bring national attention and awareness to conservation issues. At that time, 20 million people joined in peaceful demonstrations, highlighted by 10,000 grade schools and high schools and 2,000 colleges in approximately 1,000 communities.
IndianaBets.com took a quick moment away from Indiana sports betting before March Madness and used data from Google Trends between Feb.29-March 7 to see which states were searching for “Earth Day” and “Sustainability.”
Then, IndianaBets.com used information from SolarPower.Guide to inform what the solar installations per capita are in the states found searching the above Google Trends criteria.
IndianaBets.com – your source for Indiana sports betting apps - created a system based on the average search interest scores and the solar installations per capita to create an overall ranking of the most sustainable states. Here are the states that are more than doing their part:
