LI Earth Day 2020 Virtual Conference
Climate Action Now!
With A Dozen Major Local and Regional Environmental, Peace and Justice Groups
Long Island Earth Day 2020–Climate Action Now!
Show Description:
This episode of The Healthy Planet presents excerpts from the Long Island Earth Day 2020 – Climate Action Now! — a live-streamed, virtual program featuring a dozen major local and regional environmental, peace and justice groups, including HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto. Long Island Earth Day 2020 was a collaborative effort organized by South Country Peace Group in collaboration with Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation connecting major LI organizations and residents to highlight the landmark 50th Anniversary of the very first Earth Day.
It included a commemorative ceremony at Southaven County Park for the rededication of a historic Peace Pole.
While this event was originally planned as a live event during Earth Month, COVID-19 required the rescheduling to September 21—the United Nations designated International Day of Peace and the start of Climate Week. The program’s call is to action, especially Climate Action, was focused on Earth’s restoration and health.
Thank you to Michelle Santantonio of the South Country Peace group for all her efforts in pulling together this great program!
