On Saturday across the Bay Area, people commemorated Earth Day with tree-plantings and a focus on realistic solutions to the climate crisis.
SAN FRANCISCO -- On Saturday across the Bay Area and the world, people gathered to commemorate Earth Day. The first one occurred more than 50 years ago.
On Saturday in San Leandro, that effort continued as a group of volunteers and scouts, including 6-year-old Aydin Valani, planted trees in Cherry Grove Park.He had a pretty good idea what Earth Day was all about. "In the past, there was really no scientific methodology behind planting trees," he explained. "Trees became 'in favor' because somebody thought they were cool and then, because we're all social creatures, we all sort of 'monkey-see, monkey-do' and we all followed along."
A lot of ideas of the past are being re-examined these days. At the Earth Day SF festival in Golden Gate Park, a group of activists promoted nuclear power as a carbon-free energy source -- something that likely would have been regarded as environmental heresy when Earth Day began.
