Act the Clean Water Act the Endangered Species Act and even the Environmental Protection Agency Hot topics of the time were industrial pollution nuclear accidents oil dependency pesticides and a variety of social issues However policy makers were not yet acting on many important environmental problems Earth Day grew out of grassroots action and institutional support Student leader Denis Hayes and Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson were two key organizers for the first event Over 20 mil lion concerned citizens rallied for clean air and water College students were a major force in the campaign although participants of all ages were involved Still we cannot really credit a handful of individuals for the success of Earth Day After all a major message of Earth Day is that every single person has an important role in the environment 80 The first Earth Day was very successful inspiring the passage of congressional protec tion for air water and endangered species Momentum from the demonstration also fueled theformation of the Environmental Protection Agency Thirty years later the focus has changed but the urgency remains the same Due to increas ing amounts of scientific evidence that fossil fuels are changing the global climate the theme for Earth Day 2000 is Clean Energy The four major goals of Earth Day 2000 are clean cars clean power clean air and clean

viewed as serious In the United States a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides People who are bitter worried or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers These workers often trained volunteers offer benevolent advice to the callers trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion The accomplishments of
