2. The History of Earth Day and the
Community Environmental Council
40 years ago, the Dow closed at a high of 838, a gallon of gas was 38
cents, the world’s population was 3.8 billion and the repercussions of the
1969 Santa Barbara oil spill stirred the conscience of a nation.
40 years ago, a small group of citizens thrust the fragility of our planet,
and our responsibility to protect it, into the forefront in Santa Barbara –
while others brought it to the national stage for the first time.
Some say Santa Barbara was the birthplace of Earth Day, as it was after
seeing the devastation of the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara that Senator
Gaylord Nelson introduced a bill designating April 22 as a national day to
celebrate the earth.
In April 1970, the ripple caused by the Santa Barbara oil spills and national
movement to protect the planet caused a group of Santa Barbara civic
minded environmentalists to form the Community Environmental Council “...On April 22, 1970, Earth Day was held,
(CEC). The first order of business for CEC was to host one of the first Earth
Day celebrations in the world on the corner of State and Anapamu. one of the most remarkable happenings in
In April of 2010, the arc of the environmental movement reaches
the history of democracy.”

4. Become a Sponsor
Earth Day is the most important event of the year for any company or organization
to profile green programs and products, and connect with the exploding population
of green consumers. As seen across mainstream media and in the market place,
sustainability efforts are no longer a luxury – they are a requirement.
In light of the historic 40th Anniversary of Earth Day and CEC, we are investing
additional time, money and resources to expand this event to attract more people and
attention to Earth Day and the many ways to protect the planet.
