In honor of Earth Day, today's show is a replay of the interview with the original Earth Day lead organizer Denis Hayes.
Denis Hayes talks about a lifetime of work in environmentalism - the challenges, successes, the changing environmental problems since the 60's, and how he has endured numerous political changes in Washington.
Denis was the organizer of the first Earth Day in 1970, headed the Solar Energy Research Institute under President Carter, and is now president of the Bullitt Foundation. In 1999 Time Magazine named him Hero of the Planet.
In this episode we go through his early life in a polluted Washington paper milling community to how he became an environmental activist. We also discuss the creation and organization of the first Earth Day in 1970 and how the scope of the environmental problems have changed since then.

We’ll answer questions such as:Does permaculture need a new name, a consistent definition?Should permaculture reject the mainstream?Should permaculture go the mainstream?Should everyone learn permaculture, why or why not?Support the show at patreon.com/diegofooter
