Every Day Is Earth Day: Understanding the Long-Term Impacts Of April 22, 1970

Monday, October 7, 2024

Dr. Daniel Hungerman, Professor of Economics at the University of Notre Dame, considers the history of Earth Day and presents evidence showing how actions on the original Earth Day, April 22, 1970, led to transformed communities years and even decades later. The lesson is clear: regular people, acting in small and disorganized groups, can come together to make a real and lasting difference on the environment.
