HISTORY
Earth Day is 50! On April 22, 1970, Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson launched the first Earth Day as a teach-in to honor the Earth and increase ecological awareness. Since then, Earth Day has grown. It is now celebrated in over 193 countries, after the first Earth Day coordinator, Denis Hayes, took the event to the international level in 1990.
One especially notable Earth Day included the signing of the Paris Agreement, on Earth Day 2016, during the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
- On the first Earth Day, Beat poet Allen Ginsberg spoke at the Philadelphia celebration.
- April 22nd was chosen because it didn’t overlap with college exams or other holidays, but April 22, 1970 being the 100th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin’s birthday convinced some people of a Communist conspiracy.
- The 20th anniversary of Earth Day included the Earth Day 20 International Peace Climb, with a phone call from Mt. Everest, and over two tons of trash carried off the mountain.
- Chuck Berry was the headlining musician at the George, Washington Earth Day 20 event.
- Also in 1990, Warner Brothers released an Earth Day single “Tomorrow’s World” which hit #74 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
- In 1995, the US Postal Service issued their first Earth Day stamps.
- In 2000, Leonardo DiCaprio hosted the Earth Day event on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
- 2000 was also the first year Earth Day used the internet to organize and advertise.
- Earth Day 2017 included the March for Science rally.
