Gaylord Nelson

In 1969, as a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson came up with one of the most powerful ideas of his time: Earth Day. Inspired by the teach-ins formed to protest the Vietnam War, Earth Day was an instant success, drawing 20 million participants the first year (1970).

American Heritage Magazine called the first Earth Day "one of the most remarkable happenings in the history of democracy."Gaylord Nelson was born in Clear Lake, Wisconsin on June 4, 1916.In 1948, Nelson began his political career. He served as the Dane County State Senator, then became the governor of Wisconsin in 1958, serving for two terms. In 1962, Nelson was elected to the U.S. Senate where he represented Wisconsin for 18 years.After leaving the Senate in January, 1981, Nelson continued his fight for the planet's health as counselor of The Wilderness Society. He was involved with a wide range of land preservation issues, including elimination of logging subsidies, protection of national parks, and expansion of the National Wilderness Preservation System.Senator Nelson recalled the first seeds of Earth Day, in 1962. “That year an idea occurred to me that was, I thought, something that would put the environment into the political spotlight once and for all.”

What Makes Me Smile

What make me smile Is my little cousin when a person make her laugh Is make me laugh too. It makes me laugh because I see her smile. She also make me slime when she Is as sleep because when she Is as sleep she does faces funny face. The baby are the people that make me smile because there face are to little and sometimes they do face that you don't expect to see from them. So each time I see a baby am over hear plying around with them. Because from baby you can learned so many things that you don't think that baby can do and they are able to do. That's why I like going to my cousin house when we have time. But now I don't go that much so when I see her I am like see mom she have been getting taller. One thing that it make me smile the most Is that If you tell me cousin to give you a kiss she will. I ask for one each time I see her. My sister also me smile when she Is trying to talk in English. She know a little but not that much. My mom to because she now little but when she ask me how to say something I say it to her and when she say It sometime she say Is funny. That also make me smile.
