SJS/GreenPolicy360: Sparked by young activists, the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 presented beginnings of a wave, a powerful expression of green ideals and ideas emerging in a serious and historic event. Today Earth Day continues on as a movement and a political cause. Now we are a diverse mix across the globe with many nationalities, voices, faiths, religions, colors and ages. We witness the young out in front with energy. We continue on year after year, decade after decade. Across our home planet, we are #PlanetCitizens. We are a work-in-progress.

SJS: Even today, I can see George holding up the first of its type climate science report in the mid-1970s and then drafting the first National Climate Act -- https://greenpolicy360.net/w/File:US_Public_Law_95-367.png

I can see back to the beginning of an Earth Observation "Inventory" he envisioned when he was proposing and shepherding a new Landsat program into existence. I remember meeting, then years of learning, sharing and work alongside a congressman who set in motion and for decades advanced U.S. earth science research programs. George E. Brown was a special person who brought a physics and engineering background to Congress. George saw what others didn't really understand. Your GreenPolicy360 siterunner began to realize the future to come when our East LA Representative showed me the Mission Statement of NASA. -- “To understand and protect our home planet..."
