If you don't mind me referring to my prior post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1127137360

NYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/climate/denis-hayes-earth-day-organizer.html

Earth Day is a legacy of the much-maligned Boomer generation. Many of us in middle school, high school, and college made it a success.

There is an excellent book detailing the story of the many young activists who made this happen, "The Genius of Earth Day" : https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780865477742
