Planet Citizen Vision of Living Earth

Eco-Spirituality

🌎 Beginnings of the Modern Environmental Movement

We remember !

The year was 1968, the month was December.

The three Apollo astronauts scrambled for a camera and, with fortune, 'Earthrise' images were captured before Earth quickly passed by their window.

Humanity first envisions Earth from Above

The Apollo 8 astronauts, as they were orbiting around the Moon, were surprised by what they suddenly saw unexpectedly rising in their spaceships window. The quickly photographed image of our home planet was soon shared after that December 24, 1968 moment. Some on Earth began talking about a "Whole Earth" responsibility we felt, and a new strategic vision almost immediately arose.

In January 1969 a full-color majestic picture of our home planet was on the cover of Life Magazine. Our rising home planet surprising and overwhelming us all. Humanity's vision of our world began to change... We were seeing ourselves with new eyes.

Then in 1972 Apollo 17

Our blue planet came into view as astronauts looked back at Earth on their Moon journey.

A famed image called 'Blue Marble' Earth.... We shimmered in space....

Internationally though, our world was riven with war and conflict. It was a Nuclear era and Nuclear weapons bristled as two nations threatened catastrophe. The Atomic Age with its life ending Atomic Bomb hovered above us all. During the Vietnam War we narrowly avoided a president's order for Nuclear war.

Today's times continue to call for environmental protection and new definitions of national security. We continue on with our green politics and a new vision as planet citizens.

Earth in human hands...

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

-- T. S. Eliot

From a late '60s/early 70s, new vantage point, looking back from Earth's moon, humanity's understanding of ourselves and our place as stewards of life on Earth sprung forth. Overnight it seemed many realized we needed to go beyond the peace movement. Soon we began talking and planning for the first Earth Day. The modern environmental movement had work to do and we set ourselves to the task at hand.

New ways of seeing national security began with 'we're all planet citizens'. Above, looking back home, our Blue Planet calls to us to protect and secure life on Earth.
