39 years ago today in 1970, over 20 million Americans publicly demonstrated their support for the first Earth Day. Founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. This occurred during a time of great concern about overpopulation and when there was a strong movement towards "Zero Population Growth."

Today we have a new President who claims to bring a message of "hope", and we have a new EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson, who also seems to have a genuine concern for our environment. On the EPA web site they have dedicated an Earth Day message to all of us. You can read, view and listen to it HERE.

While looking for Earth Day media I ran across the following video on YouTube. It's from one of our current generation's concerned citizens, and tells a breif history of Earth Day.

I also found this very nice multimedia site from Earth Day Television. A "must-visit" for all you "eco-warriors" out there!

And please visit my other blogs for Earth Day postings.
