“OUR GOAL IS AN ENVIRONMENT OF
DECENCY, QUALITY, AND MUTUAL
RESPECT FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS AND
ALL OTHER LIVING CREATURES . . . OUR
GOAL IS A DECENT ENVIRONMENT IN ITS
BROADEST, DEEPEST SENSE.”
—Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day founder, 1970

“THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES ARE EARTH DAY AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT
CERTAINLY MAJOR IN THEIR IMPACT ON
MANKIND. NOW IS THE TIME. THE RESEARCH
IS CLEAR. IT IS UP TO US NOW TO SUMMON
THE POLITICAL WILL.”
—Robert Walker, US Representative from Pennsylvania, 1982

“THERE’S ALWAYS A PERCEPTION THAT BUSINESS
AND INDUSTRY AND CONSERVATION GROUPS . . .
DON’T AGREE ON ANYTHING. . . . [W]E CAN COME
TOGETHER TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE MIGHT BE
LOOKING AT IT FROM DIFFERENT SIDES, BUT THE FOR EARTH STANDING UP
OUTCOME IS THE SAME.”
—Doug Miell, consultant, Georgia Chamber of Commerce, 2018
