First Earth day
Gaylord Nelson, a United States
senator from Wisconsin, 1970.
20 million people participated
that year.
Fred Dutton, first proposed in a
prospectus to JFK the ideax
“I am convinced that all we need to do to bring an
overwhelming insistence of the new generation that
we stem the tide of environmental disaster is to
present the facts clearly and dramatically. To marshal
such an effort, I am proposing a national teach-in on
the crisis of the environment to be held next spring on
every university campus across the Nation. The crisis is
so imminent, in my opinion, that every university
should set aside 1 day in the school year-the same day
across the Nation-for the teach-in”
