World On Fire presents What On Earth: "Can Earth Day be badass again?"

The climate is changing. So are we. On What On Earth, you’ll
explore a world of solutions with host Laura Lynch and our team
of journalists. In 1970, 20 million people showed up to fight for
the environment on the first Earth Day. More than five decades
later, is it time for this much tamer global event to return to
its radical roots? 





OG organizer Denis Hayes recounts how – amidst other
counterculture movements at the time – his team persuaded roughly
one in ten Americans to take to the streets. As he approaches 80,
Denis offers his singular piece of advice to the next generation
of climate leaders. Then, environmental warriors Maria Blancas
and Axcelle Campana share ideas on what a reinspired Earth Day
could look like – including making it a public holiday.
