Who is this man, Gaylord Nelson? What does that name mean to you? Gaylord Nelson is the founder of Earth Day. Does anyone have any background information on this man? Did you know he was a Senator? Tell me what you know about him, and why Earth Day is important to you.

i think that the whole idea of saving the earth came from Rachel Carson, who wrote 'Silent Spring'. this was a book that pointed out all the damage we were doing to the earth and was written in the 1960's. i am guessing this fellow is american?
