I recently became aware of just how much the Bay Area influenced
the 1st Earth Day. <br>
<br>
One of the founders and the senatorial co-chair of the Earth Day
Movement, Gaylord Nelson, while a Senator from Wisconsin, was a
graduate of San Jose State before attending Univ. of Wisconsin Law
School. <br>
<br>
The other co-chair(House of Representatives) was Pete McCloskey,
Congressman from Santa Clara / San Mateo counties, Graduate
Stanford U (1959) and Stanford Univ Law School (1953).<br>
<br>
Denis Hayes, the coordinator for the First Earth Day and the
founder of the Earth Day Network was hired into this job directly
out of Stanford U where he had been Student Body President. <br>
<br>
A humanities professor at San Jose State, John Sperling, led his
students in burying a volkswagen as an example of how we should
lower CO2 emissions. He later (1976) resigned from San Jose
State and founded the Univ. of Phoenix. <br>
<br>
Since then, many other leaders have come from the bay area, most
notably the late Stephen Schneider of Stanford Univ. <br>
<br>
Our problem is to ensure that this leadership continues. <br>
