episode description
Protecting the earth and the environment hasn't always been a primary concern. In the 1950s, deadly smog, piles of burning garbage, unregulated industrial pollution and toxic waste spewed into the atmosphere and seeped into the world's waterways at an increasingly alarming rate. Join us as we journey back in time to explore how these dangers sparked the birth of a movement and the creation of the first “Earth Day” in 1970. Meet the everyday people who stepped up and devoted their lives to saving the planet from environmental disaster. Today, these “environmentalists” continue to inspire a new generation.
