A meditation on man’s complex relationship with nature and an engaging history of the revolutionary achievements and missed opportunities of eco-activism, Earth Days looks at the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement.
The first national observation of Earth Day took place on April 22, 1970, when an estimated 20 million people across the country took to the streets in protest against environmental pollution.Â
The CCC was President Roosevelt’s answer to the environmental and economic challenges facing the country during the height of the Great Depression.
