History of Earth Day
Earth Day -- April 22 -- each year marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
Among other things, 1970 in the United States brought with it the Kent State shootings, the advent of fiber optics, "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Apollo 13, the Beatles' last album, the death of Jimi Hendrix, the birth of Mariah Carey, and the meltdown of fuel rods in the Savannah River nuclear plant near Aiken, South Carolina -- an incident not acknowledged for 18 years.
It was into such a world that the very first Earth Day was born.
Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, proposed the first nationwide environmental protest "to shake up the political establishment and force this issue onto the national agenda. " "It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."
At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Environment was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news.
Earth Day 1970 turned that all around.
On April 22, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. Denis Hayes, the national coordinator, and his youthful staff organized massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.
Earth Day 1970 achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons and labor leaders. The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species acts.
Sen. Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- the highest honor given to civilians in the United States -- for his role as Earth Day founder.
As 1990 approached, a group of environmental leaders asked Denis Hayes to organize another big campaign. This time, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting the status of environmental issues on to the world stage. Earth Day 1990 gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide and helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focused on global warming and a push for clean energy. Earth Day 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990. For 2000, Earth Day had the Internet to help link activists around the world. By the time April 22 rolled around, 5,000 environmental groups around the world were on board, reaching out to hundreds of millions of people in a record 184 countries. Events varied: A talking drum chain traveled from village to village in Gabon, Africa, for example, while hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., USA.
Since Earth Day 2000 sent the message loud and clear that citizens the world 'round wanted quick and decisive action on clean energy.

What is Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya?

Local Agenda 21 originated from the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The Summit recognised that for Agenda 21 to be successful, there must be action locally, as much as at national and global levels. This is Local Agenda 21.

Local Agenda 21 is a local-government-led, community-wide, and participatory effort to establish a comprehensive action plan for environmental protection, economic prosperity and community well-being in the local area. This requires the integration of planning and action across economic, social and environmental spheres. Key elements are visioning, partnership and participation, community based issue analysis, target setting for achieving specific goals, implementation, monitoring and reporting.

If Agenda 21 says think globally, Local Agenda 21 says think globally; act locally

Progress on Local Agenda 21 was followed up with the 2002 Rio + 10 in Johannesburg, South Africa. This conference was held to identify what had been done and to look at further action needed on global issues.

Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya was started in year 2000 with the selection of MBPJ (then known as MPPJ) as the pilot project area by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. Since then, mechanism for implementation, various action plans, publicity and training programs have been carried out. Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya emphasizes partnership and participation of various stakeholders in planning, implementing and monitoring the sustainable development and community programs/initiatives in which focuses are given to the social integration, safety, economy and environmental aspects. Local Agenda 21 Petaling Jaya has been acknowledged as an appropriate implementation model for other local authorities in Malaysia.
