Rebooting Earth Day 2020
Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic the April 25, 2020 Earth Day event at the Coralville Marriott was cancelled. We have pivoted to expanded program thinking 2020 to Make Every Day Earth Day.
Making Sense during the COVID-19 pandemic
While protecting the biosphere is important, the human social and political environment must be protected, sustained, and respected as well before Earth Day can truly become every day for everyone.Besides the pandemic, 2020 has brought several simulataneous unprecedented crises. Certainly, climate change is evermore blatant with record catastrophic forest fires, wind storms, heat, flooding, drought, and a record hurricaine season; however, currently worsening political, economic, and social unrest in the U.S. and globally magnify the everpresent spectre of instant nuclear annihilation.
Recall that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Doomsday Clock, for the first time since 1947 had already been set in early 2020 at Seconds rather than Minutes before midnight. It is past time for every individual to begin working steadily in their own and collective new ways to make every day Earth Day.
