Bill Nye Instagram – 51 years ago, on April 22nd, 1970, we celebrated the very first #EarthDay. I was there. I rode my bicycle and locked it to a flagpole at the Washington Monument. I wore a sign that read “Pedals Don’t Pollute.” I rendered the “o” in Pollute as the original Earth symbol from that early era. It’s a fond memory. Even if I wasn’t as cool and thoughtful as I hoped to appear, the first Earth Day’s message was good then, and it’s even better (and more important) today: We have to take care of the Earth. How do we do that? Well, recycling plastic bottles is good. Driving an efficient car is good. Taking public transportation is good. But those things alone are not going to cut it. We need big ideas. We need to make huge changes. So here’s what everyone could do… TALK about climate change. If we were talking about climate change the way we talk about mask wearing or racism, which are important issues, very important— but so is climate. If we’re taking about it, we’d be getting ‘er done. So everyone, vote. Please vote. Take the environment into account in everything you do. We want clean water. Renewably produced electricity, and, access to the Internet for everyone on Earth. We can do this people. If we work together – we can change the world. Let’s go!
