Earth Day is April 22 and is now celebrated by over 193 countries and 1 billion people worldwide.
Meier has re-released the book for the Anniversaries of Earth Day as he finds it of the utmost importance for the environmental movement today to look back and see what has and hasn't been done with environmental issues that Meier brought up in 1970, including many issues that are just now getting the recognition they deserve such as the warming of the earth, which the book deals with well before the word global warming was coined, safety in mines which recently has been headline news, dealing with wastes that could be recycled, even suggesting the use of electric cars which only now has finally begun to be implemented.
Many of the hottest news topics today are around the environment, and having a look back over 50 years shows how many of the "new" environmental solutions that governments have been proposing aren't actually new and that many of the problems had been brought up many years ago with still little to nothing having been done about them.
Editorial Reviews
"Meier's book remains a powerful (and tragically timeless) call to action for citizen conservations to make their voices heard."
Publishers Weekly BookLife Review
"Engaging and instructive...remains upsettingly relevant...A historical document that remains a powerful call to action."
