CELEBRATE EARTH DAY - EVERY DAY

“Earth Day worked because of the spontaneous response at the grassroots level. We had neither the time nor resources to organize 20 million demonstrators and the thousands of schools and local communities that participated. That was the remarkable thing about Earth Day. It organized itself.”

Senator Gaylord Nelson – Founder of Earth Day

“ My wife and I have spent half our lives, half our adult lives, trying to save special parts of California.”

“Well, perhaps the greatest achievement, and we didn’t know it at the time, was we held an Earth Day in 1970, and out of that Earth Day a lot of students got involved in saving the environment, or trying to.”

Congressman Pete McCloskey – Co-Founder of Earth Day

"The Land" Earthday Celebration a Success!

On Friday and Saturday evening Tuleyome supporters were treated to special evening of poetry, music and theater, along with thought-provoking discussion of the environmental challenges that face the wrold today. After presentations by noted poet and educator Francisco X. Alacón, Salvador Ramirez from the National Hispanic Environmental Council and former congressman Pete McCloskey, Jazz Pianist Olivier Stern entertained the crowd with excerpts from his new CD "Generations" to be released later this year. In the background a slide show if inspiring images from the regions natural heritage were shown.

The highlight of the evening however was the inspiring production of "The Land" by David Marquis. True to it's billing, the play was small, with only two actors and minimalist set design, but very powerful. The Land depicts a conversation between a man and Mother Nature. Over the course of the play, he experiences the full range of human reactions when presented with the beauty and bounty of the Earth, from greed to simple indifference to the joy of experiencing a true relationship with the natural world.

Much of the work was done by tireless volunteers and very generous sponsors. We wish to sincerely thank those of you who helped make this extraordinary event a reality, thank you.
