We’ve been celebrating Earth Day for 50 years, but even the most ardent activists of today would have a hard time picturing the intensity and excitement the first Earth Day in 1970 brought. Before then, no one used the phrase “environmental movement”. But that first Earth Day sparked an unprecedented conversation about pollution, wilderness protection, sprawl, and more. Join Adam Rome, professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Buffalo, as he uncovers the motivation for, and the lasting impact of, a national day devoted to environmental awareness.

Adam Rome does an incredible job of illustrating the event that spawned the American Environmental Movement — the first Earth Day (1970). Rome explains the history of Earth Day by highlighting the inspiring stories of specific people in the army of grassroots individuals (from senators to school teachers to students) who took part in organizing the nationwide teach-in event, as well as those whose lives were changed by it. Gives the listener a better understanding of how environmentalism has evolved since the 1970s, and the last chapter does an excellent job of explaining what lessons we can take away from the Earth Day legacy in thinking about modern day environmental activism. Most of all, it was inspiring and empowering. It expanded my understanding of what activism can look like—one that empowers, educates and engages people everywhere. Must-listen for every environmental activist or anyone interested in the history of the American Environmental movement!!!
