Some credit for bringing environmental concerns into the mainstream should be given to the 21 March 1970 (one month before Earth Day) broadcast of A Clear and Present Danger, the pilot episode of NBC's The Bold Ones series. "The son of a U.S. Senator takes on the cause of clean air when a friend dies of emphysema." I have no idea how many viewers the show had, but it must have been substantial and relatively upscale. NBC had promoted it heavily, and it had a prestigious cast including Hal Holbrook, E.G. Marshall, Joseph Campanella, Jack Albertson, Pat Hingle, and Jeff Corey. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3U-li8oddqM https://imdb.com/title/tt0065558/ 2600:2B00:870D:3F00:A842:7E7B:F727:D6BE (talk) 14:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Under section Criticisms, fix grammar mistake by changing "it's continued, repetitious existence" to "its continued, repetitious existence". Triinusingu (talk) 10:20, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I removed the apostrophe from it's, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 16:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to change history?

No mention of Ira Einhorn? Wonder why? 🤔 216.47.33.125 (talk) 01:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He is listed in the "See also" section A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You would think being he was a co founder, you would mention that in the main page where founders are listed. 216.47.33.125 (talk) 02:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, you only claim on his page that this directs you to( that he was a “speaker” at the first earth day. No mention that he was co founder. Yet another example of the he inaccuracies here I guess. 216.47.33.125 (talk) 03:18, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Scott

They mention how he and some students went to a environmental-teach in. I think they should mention a little more about what Doug does and how this applied to his class. MacNcheese-30 (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 April 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Earth Day. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Adding a citation for the following passage:

As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focusing on global warming and pushing for clean energy. The April 22 Earth Day in 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990. For 2000, Earth Day had the internet to help link activists around the world. By the time April 22 came around, 5,000 environmental groups worldwide were on board, reaching out to hundreds of millions of people in a record 184 countries. Events varied: A talking drum chain traveled from village to village in Gabon, Africa, for example, while hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., US
