History of World earth Day

World Earth Day first came into being on April 22, 1970, followed in 1972 by World Environment Day. The idea was put forward during a UNSEO conference in 1969 in San Fransisco, by the peace activist John MC Connell who proposed to honour the planet and the concept of peace. This day of nature’s equipoise was later sanctioned in a proclamation written by McConnell and signed by Secretary-General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later, United States Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed the idea to hold a nationwide environmental teach-in on April 22, 1970. He hired a young activist, Denis Hayes, to be the National Coordinator. Nelson and Hayes renamed the event “Earth Day”.
