40 Years: The Earth Day Guys.
They were U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hayes. Not Bob Redford, Leonardo DiCaprio, Laurie David or Al Gore, as each would be the first to admit. Nelson was a country lawyer, true Wisconsin character, ex-governor and well-liked U.S. senator. Hayes was, and is, a visionary academic and organizer. See this 2005 remembrance, "The Earth Day Senator", appearing in Environmental Protection magazine.
