THE OFFICIAL BOOK OF THE FIRST EARTH DAY
EARTH DAY IS APRIL 22 AND IS CELEBRATED BY OVER 193 COUNTRIES AND 1 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE
Speaking for the Earth was written by John Meier for the first Earth Day in 1970.
Meier has re-released the book for the Anniversaries of Earth Day as he finds it of the utmost importance for the environmental movement today to look back and see what has and hasn’t been done with environmental issues that Meier brought up in 1970, including many issues that are just now getting the recognition they deserve such as the warming of the earth, which the book deals with well before the word global warming was coined, safety in mines which recently has been headline news, dealing with wastes that could be recycled, even suggesting the use of electric cars which only now has finally begun to be implemented.
Many of the hottest news topics today are around the environment, and having a look back over 50 years shows how many of the “new” environmental solutions that governments have been proposing aren’t actually new and that many of the problems had been brought up many years ago with still little to nothing having been done about them.
SPEAKING FOR THE EARTH
Former United States Senate Candidate John Meier was one of the first individuals to bring international attention to Environmental issues and was one of the world’s foremost Environmentalists at the time of writing Speaking for the Earth. Meier is seen here in 1970 autographing a copy of Speaking for the Earth for Tom Murray, whose father was the Commissioner of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
