Story
We’ve been celebrating Earth Day for 50 years, but even the most ardent activists of today would have a hard time picturing the intensity and excitement the first Earth Day in 1970 brought. Before then, no one used the phrase “environmental movement”. But that first Earth Day sparked an unprecedented conversation about pollution, wilderness protection, sprawl, and more. Join Adam Rome, professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Buffalo, as he uncovers the motivation for, and the lasting impact of, a national day devoted to environmental awareness.

I listened to this audiobook after reading Adam Rome's book on Earth Day. Just like the book, I love how the audiobook feels like a story that includes both smaller details and big picture ideas. I especially enjoyed hearing you talk about the interviews you conducted during your research. Not only did I learn more about Earth Day than I though there was to know, but this audiobook also gave me ideas for my own environmental activism. Thank you, Professor Rome!
