Backgrounder: How EARTH DAY changed the world, and World Nuclear
Energy Day can do the same... a recap.
Earth Day 1970
President Richard Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon planted a tree on
the White House South Lawn to recognize the first Earth Day. The
first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and
universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools,
and hundreds of communities across the United States. More
importantly, it "brought 20 million Americans out into the spring
sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental
reform." It now is observed in 192 countries, and coordinated by the
nonprofit Earth Day Network, chaired by the first Earth Day 1970
organizer Denis Hayes, according to whom Earth Day is now "the
largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a
billion people every year." Walter Reuther, president of the United
Auto Workers, made the first donation to support the first Earth Day
in the amount of $2,000. Under his leadership, the UAW also funded
telephone capabilities so that the organizers could communicate and
coordinate with each other from all across the United States. The
UAW also financed, printed, and mailed all of the literature and
other materials for the first Earth Day and mobilized its members to
participate in the public demonstrations across the country.
According to Denis Hayes, "The UAW was by far the largest
contributor to the first Earth Day" and "Without the UAW, the first
Earth Day would have likely flopped!" Hayes further said, "Walter’s
presence at our first press conference utterly changed the dynamics
of the coverage - we had instant credibility." Walt Kelly created an
anti-pollution poster featuring his comic strip character Pogo with
the quotation "We have met the enemy and he is us" to promote the
1970 Earth Day. Environmental groups have sought to make Earth Day
into a day of action to change human behavior and provoke policy
changes.
