It's the poster that American artist Robert Rauschenberg made for the first Earth Day in 1970. On that historic day, over 20 million people across the US took to streets, parks and auditoriums to demand protection of the Earth. The modern environmental movement was born and passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts soon followed.
Since that mass action, we’ve come a long way. Our environmental laws have prevented harm at home and been replicated in countries around the world. Earth Day showed that people could use their power to heal the polluted landscape that Rauschenberg depicted.

This was the EVENT of the day...of the decade....of the century...of millenia:
We finally recognized our Oneness with Mother Gaia- her living, breathing, sensing, nurturing Beingness.
She is our sustenance and deserves our reverence if we are to heal ourselves and prepare a fruitful way for our future generations.
We move as one.
