Overview
Earth Days combines personal testimony and archival media. Earth Days reviews the development of the modern environmental movement—from the post-war 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s bestseller Silent Spring, to the first successful 1970 Earth Day celebration. The stories of the era’s pioneers feature the former United States Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; biologist/The Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich; Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand; Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart; Dennis Meadows "The Forecaster" scientist and Emeritus Professor of Systems Management; and Pete McCloskey "The Politician" former Republican. Also included are Richard Nixon, former Governor of California Jerry Brown, Jimmy Carter, Denis Hayes, Jacques-Yves Cousteau; and Hunter Lovins.
