When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

Ken Norton remembers the smoggy Los Angeles air that
he left to study at San Jose State College, and the Survival Faire
that preceeded the first Earth Day in 1970 by a couple of months on
February 20, 1970 as a kickstart to the era of ecological concern.
Students from a Humanities course organized the student funded
theSurvival Faire and the purchase of a new orange Maverick to bury
in a grave dug on the campus after a solemn funeral procession
through downtown San Jose. Students and scholars of colleges and
universities around the nation were concerned over the environmental
impact of automobile exhaust and pesticides. Senator Gaylord
Nelson of Wisconsin found much willingness around the country to
found the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. The Survival Faire was
such a memorable event with street theatre that the
New York Times reported on it.

2. Vesta Copestakes wrote the lead
article in the April 2020 issue of the Sonoma County Gazette
called Earth Day - 50
Years of Steady Progress - Perspective over a Lifetime and discusses this with
Elaine. Vesta recounts a policy made by Mao Tse Tung in China to
eradicated the sparrows for he feared they were eating too much of
the grain as his people were starving. This policy just made life
worse as Nature responded with the lack of birds eating not only
grains but insects, as well, with a scourge of locusts. She
remembers Rachel Carson's publication of her book Silent Spring and
the role of DDT pesticides in killing mosquitoes, a food source for
birds, Vesta then lists some improvements made over the 50 years,
like recycling, the ban of DDT and the forming of the federal
Environmental Protection Agency, only to be set back many ways by
the present White House.
