The Origin of Earth Day
Ever since the publication of Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962, it has increased public consciousness and care for living beings, ecosystems, and the undeniable connections between pollution and public well-being.
After that, Senator Gaylord Nelson, influenced by witnessing the Santa Barbara oil spill and inspired by the anti-war movement, proposed a nationwide teach-in on college campuses to raise awareness about pollution. With the help of Denis Hayes and Pete McCloskey, Earth Day was organized on April 22, 1970, drawing 20 million Americans to rallies against the environmental impacts of industrialization.
Now every April 22, we celebrate Earth Day, remembering its start in 1970 as the birth of the modern environmental movement.
