So as it begins after midnight, we will now re-run the one we posted — at a half century on.
…It has been [over a half century] since that first Earth Day in New York City — and Philly, New Orleans. . . and Boulder. It certainly doesn’t seem a half-century ago — but it now is.
To be sure, the work attached to the movement has never been more vital — more urgent. We all share this fragile orb — and we are all responsible for how we pass it on, to our children, and theirs. So join with the kiddos… here:
…Earth Day was a unified response to an environment in crisis — oil spills, smog, rivers so polluted they literally caught fire.
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans — 10% of the U.S. population at the time — took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet.
The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement, and is now recognized as the planet’s largest civic event….
Now you know. Do something, even from home — to move the agenda forward, in your sphere of influence. Please. It will help our fragile, beautiful blue sphere, immeasurably.
