An excerpt from
How the First Earth Day Came About
By Senator Gaylord Nelson, Founder of Earth Day
The idea for Earth Day evolved over a period of seven years starting in 1962. For several years, it had been troubling me that
the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of the country. Finally, in November 1962, an idea occurred to me that was, I thought, a virtual cinch to put the environment into the political "limelight" once and for all. The idea
was to persuade President Kennedy to give visibility to this issue by going on a national conservation tour. I flew to Washington to discuss the proposal with Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who liked the idea. So did the President. The President
began his five-day, eleven-state conservation tour in September 1963. For many reasons the tour did not succeed in putting
the issue onto the national political agenda. However, it was the germ of the idea that ultimately flowered into Earth Day.
At a conference in Seattle in September 1969, I announced that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots
demonstration on behalf of the environment and invited everyone to participate. The wire services carried the story from
coast to coast. The response was electric. It took off like gangbusters. Telegrams, letters, and telephone inquiries poured in
from all across the country. The American people finally had a forum to express its concern about what was happening to the
land, rivers, lakes, and air - and they did so with spectacular exuberance. For the next four months, two members of my Senate staff, Linda Billings and John Heritage, managed Earth Day affairs out of my Senate office.
Five months before Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill
reporting on the astonishing proliferation of environmental events:
"Rising concern about the environmental crisis is sweeping the nation's campuses with an intensity that may be on its way to
eclipsing student discontent over the war in Vietnam...a national day of observance of environmental problems...is being
planned for next spring...when a nationwide environmental 'teach-in'...coordinated from the office of Senator Gaylord Nelson
is planned...."
It was obvious that we were headed for a spectacular success on Earth Day. It was also obvious that grassroots activities had
ballooned beyond the capacity of my U.S. Senate office staff to keep up with the telephone calls, paper work, inquiries, etc. In
mid-January, three months before Earth Day, John Gardner, Founder of Common Cause, provided temporary space for a
Washington, D.C. headquarters. I staffed the office with college students and selected Denis Hayes as coordinator of activities.
Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to
organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself.

Earth Day 2009, April 22, will mark the beginning of The Green Generation CampaignTM
which will also be the focus of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2010. With negotiations
for a new global climate agreement coming up in December, Earth Day 2009 must be a day of
action and civic participation, to defend The Green GenerationTM’s core principles:

A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
 An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
 Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs
and transforms the global education system into a green one.

PICNIC WITH A MARKER
Some time in between the artichoke dip and the coleslaw, you lost track of your cup, and now there are a sea of matching cups on the table, one of which might be yours. The next time you picnic, set out permanent marker next to disposable dinnerware so guests can mark their cup and everyone will only use one.
