World Earth Day
April 22
Earth Day was first observed in Spring of 1970. An estimated 20 million people nationwide attendedfestivities out of which came the largest grassroots environmental movement in U.S. history, and the impetus for national legislation like the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. By the twentieth anniversary of that event, April 22, 1990, more than 200 million people in 141 countries participated in Earth Day celebrations.
Former US Senator Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day's co-founder, modeled Earth Day on anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, called "teach-ins," that were common on college campuses. "At a conference in Seattle in September 1969, I announced that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on behalf of the environment," says Nelson. "The response was electric. Telegrams, letters, and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the country." As many as 20 million Americans participated in environmental rallies, demonstrations and other activities in the 1970 Earth Day.
Since the first Earth Day, however, the environmental movement has increasingly transformed itself from a largely grassroots, citizen crusade to a professionally-organized, established special interest.
世界地球日活動(dòng)起源于美國(guó)。
1969年，美國(guó)民主黨參議員蓋洛德尼爾森提議，在全國(guó)各大學(xué)校園內(nèi)舉辦環(huán)保問題講演會(huì)。當(dāng)時(shí)25歲的哈佛大學(xué)法學(xué)院學(xué)生丹尼斯海斯很快就將尼爾森的提議變成了一個(gè)在全美各地展開大規(guī)模社區(qū)性活動(dòng)的具體構(gòu)想，并得到很多青年學(xué)生的普遍支持。
1970年4月22日，美國(guó)首次舉行了聲勢(shì)浩大的“地球日”活動(dòng)。這是人類有史以來第一次規(guī)模宏大的群眾性環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)。
作為人類現(xiàn)代環(huán)保運(yùn)動(dòng)的開端，“地球日”活動(dòng)推動(dòng)了多個(gè)國(guó)家環(huán)境法規(guī)的建立。1990年4月22日，全世界140多個(gè)國(guó)家、2億多人同時(shí)在各地舉行多種多樣的環(huán)境保護(hù)宣傳活動(dòng)。這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)得到了聯(lián)合國(guó)的首肯。從此“地球日”成為“世界地球日”。
地球是人類的共同家園，然而，隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展和經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模的擴(kuò)大，全球環(huán)境狀況在過去30年里持續(xù)惡化。有資料表明：自1860年有氣象儀器觀測(cè)記錄以來，全球年平均溫度升高了0.6攝氏度，最暖的13個(gè)年份均出現(xiàn)在1983年以后。20世紀(jì)80年代，全球每年受災(zāi)害影響的人數(shù)平均為1.47億，而到了20世紀(jì)90年代，這一數(shù)字上升到2.11億。目前世界上約有40%的人口嚴(yán)重缺水，如果這一趨勢(shì)得不到遏制，在30年內(nèi)，全球55%以上的人口將面臨水荒。自然環(huán)境的惡化也嚴(yán)重威脅著地球上的野生物種。如今全球12%的鳥類和四分之一的哺乳動(dòng)物瀕臨滅絕，而過度捕撈已導(dǎo)致三分之一的魚類資源枯竭。
世界地球日活動(dòng)旨在喚起人類愛護(hù)地球、保護(hù)家園的意識(shí)，促進(jìn)資源開發(fā)與環(huán)境保護(hù)的協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展。中國(guó)從20世紀(jì)90年代起，每年4月22日都舉辦世界地球日活動(dòng)。
