CRS Report: 'Earth Day - Fact Sheet

Better late than never, right?

Audrey Celeste Crane-Hirsch authored this brief CRS report (updated: 19 April 2023): 'Earth Day: Fact Sheet'. The graphic is from the Earth Day website.

Download CRS_Report_Earth_Day_Fact_Sheet_19April2023

Introduction
Earth Day is an annual event to raise awareness about environmental issues. First held on April 22, 1970, it is celebrated each year on April 22.

This fact sheet assists congressional offices with work related to Earth Day. It contains historical information, links to legislation, sample speeches and remarks from the Congressional Record, presidential proclamations and statements, and web resources.

History
The first Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970, after Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin called for teach-ins on college campuses nationwide to raise awareness of environmental issues. “I am convinced that the same concern the youth of this nation took in changing this country’s priorities on the war in Vietnam and on civil rights can be shown for the problems of the environment,” he told an audience in Seattle, WA, on September 20, 1969.

Planning began in Senator Nelson’s office and was handed off to a nonprofit organization, Environmental Teach-In, Inc., staffed by “a group of twentysomething activists.” Organizers selected April 22, a weekday after the end of winter weather but before the start of final exams, to maximize students’ participation. Millions of Americans participated in rallies, teach-ins, speeches, and other locally organized events across the country on Earth Day, attracting significant news coverage. 

Senator Nelson initially intended Earth Day to be a one-time event. “I did not plan another Earth Day because it could not be duplicated and there would be no special purpose in attempting it. The objective of Earth Day was fully accomplished,” he wrote in 1971. Over time, April 22 became an annual celebration of the environment and the environmental movement marked by volunteer work, educational programs, and other events. 

Washington, DC, hosted anniversary rallies in 1990, 1995, and 2000. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of online events marked Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020. 

Earth Day is not a federal holiday, though public laws designated Earth Day on March 21, 1975 (P.L. 94-8); April 22, 1990 (P.L. 101-186); and April 22, 1991 (P.L. 102-34). Resolutions introduced in the 92nd Congress (1971-1972) and 93rd Congress (1973-1974) would have designated either April 22, the third Wednesday of April, or March 21 (the vernal equinox) as Earth Day on an annual basis, but no further action was taken. Legislation introduced in the 106th Congress (1999-2000) would have designated April 22 as Earth Day, but no further action was taken. 

The United Nations designated April 22 as International Mother Earth Day in 2009. The United Nations also has designated June 5 as World Environment Day since 1974. 

Recent Commemorative Legislation
H.Res. 1075 (2022) would have expressed support for honoring Earth Day, and for other purposes. 

H.Res. 346 (2021) would have expressed support for honoring Earth Day, and for other purposes. 

S.Res. 593 (2020) would have recognized the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the leadership of its founder, Senator Gaylord Nelson. 

H.Res. 932 (2020) would have expressed support for honoring the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, and for other purposes. 

H.Res. 330 (2019) would have expressed support for honoring Earth Day, and for other purposes.

Las Vegas Gets More Water on Earth Day - 2007, That Is!

I remember the first Earth Day in 1970. At the College of William and Mary in Virginia, I helped build a dam. Nice, huh? Actually, it was to prevent the pollution of a stream and lake from sediment produced by construction. It did annoy some of my geology major colleagues who wanted to study delta formation in Lake Matoaka.

It's been all downhill since then.

What an appropriate post for Earth Day - Las Vegas and water! That was on Earth Day 2007.

Here is what I wrote: 

On 16 April 2007, Nevada State Engineer Tracy Taylor announced that the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), which supplies water to the Las Vegas (southern Nevada) area, will get to pump only 40,000 AF (acre-feet) annually, instead of the 91,000 AF it had requested, from Spring Valley, which is in White Pine County near the Utah border.

A pdf map of Nevada's hydrographic basins can be dowloaded below. Spring Valley is #184, in the east-central part of the state. Las Vegas Valley is #212 in the southern part of the state.

Download gw_has.pdf

Here is a map of Nevada's hydrographic regions. Spring Valley is in the eastern portion of the Central Region (#10).

According to a 16 April 2007 article in the Nevada Appeal, Taylor said that after the initial 10-year pumping period, the SNWA can pump an additional 20,000 AF/year, provided monitoring has not indicated any adverse impacts.

Taylor also said that the SNWA's pumps will have to be turned off if existing wells and water rights are adversely affected. Critics wondered whether Taylor would really turn off the pumps.

Some wondered whether this reduced allotment would still make for a cost-effective plan.

The SNWA receives Nevada's entire annual allotment of 300,000 AF from the Colorado River and has maintained that further growth in the Las Vegas area beyond about 2014 will require additional supplies. It does not appear likely that the other Colorado River Compact states (CA, AZ, NM, UT, WY, and CO) will provide any more water to Nevada. SNWA General Manager Patricia Mulroy has lobbied unsuccessfully for a change in the compact to allot more water to Nevada. In 1922, when the seven basin states divided the Colorado's water, who could have imagined that there would be about 1.5 million people in southern Nevada in 2007.

The SNWA already owns rights to 10,000 AF per year in Spring Valley, and so with the additional water rights granted by the State Engineer, reuse and recyling, the SNWA expects that they will be able to provide an additional 120,000 AF annually to the Las Vegas Valley. Deliveries are expected no earlier than 2014.

Here is a pdf of the State Engineer's ruling:
