Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you think of Earth Day, do you know that the first Earth Day (April 22, 1970) did not begin the history of environmentalism? ecology and environmentalism were little known words before 1970? the landmark legislation of the 1970s was not the beginning of environmental law? Sen. Gaylord Nelson, who conceived the idea of Earth Day, was not the first senator to champion environmental legislation? Nelson modeled the idea of Earth Day after anti-Vietnam War teach-ins? he invited a Republican to co-sponsor it? the most publicized event took place took place more than a month before the official first Earth Day? today's most important environmental laws were enacted with Republican Presidents and a Democratic Congress? the Environmental Protection Agency was at first the most popular federal agency? favoring new environmental laws was once politically the safest stance? groups as different as the John Birch Society and Students for a Democratic Society agreed on the need to stop pollution? most of the predictions of environmental catastrophe were wrong? many of the most vocal environmental activists today make the same flawed arguments? Earth Day is now an international event? Thousands of people helped organize Earth Day 1970 events. Multiple thousands spoke at various events. Millions listened. The first Earth Day made environmentalism a mainstream issue. It unified the country like nothing else. The unity couldn't last. Some of the most popular and influential speakers sowed seeds of the collapse of the environmental consensus with overheated rhetoric and bad predictions. But Earth Day continues to inspire and educate people to adopt more eco-friendly lifestyles. Read this comprehensive guide to the history of environmentalism. David M. Guion, author of the respected blog Sustaining Our World, explains the often neglected and forgotten history and prehistory of Earth Day. And examines its successes and failures 50 years later.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Kultur und Landeskunde, Note: 1,7, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Amerika Institut), Veranstaltung: American Environmental History, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Earth Day, a Story of Success: Progresses and Backstrokes of American Environmentalism During the Last Forty Years 1. Introduction Everybody has heard of Earth Day at least once in a lifetime.Earth Day has been celebrated for the first time on April 22, 1970 in the whole United States.It was the largest demonstration that should ever take place in this country. Twenty million people, from coast to coast, gathered in cities around the nation to speak up for nature and to make environmentalism a political issue. Today Earth Day is solemnized in over 175 countries around the globe; some local communities even dedicate themselves to the environmental good throughout a longer period, in a so-calledEarth Week or Earth Month around April 22.This year Earth Day has celebrated its 40th anniversary, but what has changed within these four decades? Did Earth Day and the idea behind it accomplish its goals, is the job to remedy the circumstance of our environment done or did it fail?Which environmental challenges did people face in the 1970s and which challenges do we face today? These questions are not easily answered. The founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson had the ideology to inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth's natural environment among people. It is sure that Nelson did not invent environmentalism; the environmental movement had its precursor in the conservation movement. Especially considering that ecologists like Aldo Leopold or Rachel Carson had set the benchmark for ecology and environmentalism with their literature earlier. Nevertheless, Senator Gaylord Nelson was the first politician who realizedthat environmentalism was the most urgent task of the 20th century. It is a fact that environmentalism gained credence at the dawn
