Then a senator, and former Wisconsin governor, Nelson had a simple idea for a day of awareness for the planet. \r\n\r\nThe year was 1970. Gas was cheap. There were no regulations like the Clean Air Act or the Clean Water Act to keep factories from polluting our air, land, and water. A rising consciousness after several environmental disasters had the country buzzing with a desire to do more.\r\n\r\nHis idea took off, and millions joined in across the country. Today, Earth Day is celebrated by more than a billion people around the globe.\r\n\r\nNelson’s daughter, Tia, is paving the way for his legacy to live on through her environmental advocacy. She is the managing director on climate at the Outrider Foundation. In this episode, she sheds light on her father’s work, what Earth Day means to her and how you can get involved.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tigChopDxKmZI5n0ec-YlIMx1OI6aACPFxiD5sVdGoE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4ODYvMTU2MTU2/Mzc1MC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
