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.

Happy Birthday, Earth Day!

Fascinating story of the origins and transformative power of the first Earth Day, in 1970. Rome tells a compelling tale of how this almost-forgotten event crystallized a national environmental awakening and spurred long-term change. I found listening to these lectures empowering -- in the many stories of individuals who made a difference -- but also depressing -- in considering how much more divisive and irrational we've become as a society. The last lecture, on the legacy of Earth Day, is particularly interesting, in its analysis of what made the environmental movement so effective -- grass roots and Washington elite involvement, combination of education and activism, intergenerational collaboration, and massive media coverage -- and might offer a roadmap for activists today.
