Founder of Earth Day Dies
According to CBC News, Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. politician who founded Earth Day 35 years ago and helped create the modern environmental movement, has died.
A conservationist long before it became fashionable, Nelson’s achievements included helping to create hundreds of thousands of hectares of protected wetlands and parks in Wisconsin. Nelson was best-known, however, for starting Earth Day, which attracted about 20 million participants when it debuted on April 22, 1970. The day continues to be celebrated around the world, as people clean up trash, plant trees and hold events to raise environmental awareness.

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
