I . INTRODUCTION
Twenty years ago, more than 20 million people demonstrated their concern
for the environment in the first Earth Day. It was the largest organized
demonstration in history. The awareness spawned by that event brought us
new laws and new policies , including the first Clean Air and Clean Water
Acts and led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Earth Day 1970 gave birth to the modern environmental movement.
This year, because Earth Day can no longer be contained by a single day,
events will take place during an Earth Week, starting April 16 and
culminating on April 22, the twentieth anniversary of the first Earth Day.
During the week, there will be a series of educational and environmental
events throughout the community. Earth Day is a proactive campaign to
catalyze environmental awareness and action in all areas of the community.
We hope the interest and concern created by Earth Day will continue
throughout the 90s and beyond.
Earth Day 1990 will be an international event with nearly every community
taking part. The Local Earth Day Coalition will be coordinating events
throughout this area to educate and benifit the community.
We plan to have a Benefit Concert, Earth Day Faire, film festivals, tree
plantings, educational displays, TV and radio programs, beach and park
clean-ups , an alternative transportation day, school art contests, bicycle
century, parade, toxic cleanups and recycle-a-thons. We are also selling
Earth Day T-shirts, buttons and our first fund raiser- was sponsord by
D.K. ' s at the end of Peace Week, on January 21, 1990.
We are in the process of coordinating funds from the San Luis Obispo Count
Board of Supervisors and contributions from local business.
'The Earth Day coalition does not discriminate against any persons because
of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap,
medical condition, marital status, age or sex.
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT/NEEDS ASSESSMENT
We are requesting a grant from the City of San 'Luer Obispo to partially
underwrite the coalition' s advertising/promation budget. Specifically,
we are requesting funds for a portion of the costs for environmental speaker�
a memorial tree planting, a banner for down town San 'Lus Obispo, a Mission
Plaza Faire and advertising film and concert events.
The importance of the Earth Day events to San Luis Obispo is demonstrated
by the public awareness to enviormental issues through the increase in
public demands for clean air, water and controled growth.
We feel the Earth Day events will attract residents from the entire county
and will bring added revenues to our business community.
1
III . PROGRAM OBJECTIVES •
The Earth Day Coalition hopes to:
EDUCATE the community about environmental problems and solutions on both
local and global scales, providing clear, factual information on the
state of the environment.
ANSWER the question "What can I do?" and urge everyone to make the
commitment to carry out those action's through environmental pledges .
CHANGE the individual ' s perspectives and attitudes about their daily life-
styles so they are more environmentally sound and aware.
HEIGHTEN everyone ' s appreciation of the local ecology, the planet' s
diversity and think about our impact on the many generations ahead.
FACILITATE the exchange of environmental and social information between
groups and individuals.
CELEBRATE all life, make this a positive and fun event with diversified
appeal and have participants conclude Earth Day feeling empowered,
not discouraged.
The most obvious and important goal of our promotional plan is to bring
the residents of San Luis Obispo together and educate the community
about environmental problems and solutions. Because all of our promotion
is aimed at the entire county, the city' s funding of our promotion budget
has a direct impact on increasing revenues of San Luis Obispo businesses.
As we are planning this years events, we are learning what we will need
to do for next years and future events.

J V. FUTURE FUNDING
The Earth Day Coalition has planned several fund raising events, including
the D.K. Concert, the Bike Century, selling T-shirts and buttons, business
contributions, County Supervisor contributions, film and speaker fund
raisers and tree donations from local nurseries.
Because Earth Day is a National Event, the coalition is very confident of
of a large community participation and support. The coalition plans on
making Earth Week a yearly community event, and is confident the event
will grown in popularity year after year.
The Earth Day celebrations will continue with or without City funding.
Unfortunatly, without City funding, the coalition will need to spend much
.more time and energy with fund raisers, and less time education the
community on the purpose -and values of celebrating Earth Day.

What is Earth Day 1990? •` —
i
Twenty years ago, more that 20 million people demonstrated their concern
for the environment in the first Earth Day. It was the largest organized
demonstration in history. The awareness spawned by that event brought us
neer laws and new policies, including the first Clean Air and Clean Water
Ars and led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Earth
Day 1970 gave birth to the modern environmental movement.
Be:ause it can no longer be contained by a single day, events will take place
during an Earth Week starting April 16 and culminating on April 22, the
twentieth anniversary of the first Earth Day. During the week, there will be a
serves of educational and environmental events throughout the community.
Earth Day is a proactive campaign to catalyze environmental awareness and
action in all areas of the community. We hope the interest and concern
created by Earth Day will continue throughout the 90s and beyond.
Earth Day 1990 will be an international event with nearly every community
taking part. The Local Earth Day Coalition will be coordinating events
throughout this area.
What Are Our Coals?
The Earth Day Coalition hopes to:
Educate the community about environmental problems and solutions on
both local and global scales, providing clear, factual information on the
state of the environment.
Answer the question "What can I do?" and urge everyone to make the
commitment to carry out those actions through environmental
pledges.
CI•,A= the individual's perspectives and attitudes about their daily lifestyles
so they are more environmentally sound and aware.
Heighten everyone's appreciation of the local ecology, the planet's diversity
and think about our impact on the many generations ahead.
Facilitate the exchange of environmental and social information between
groups and individuals.
Celebrate all life, make this a positive and fun event with diversified
appeal.and have participants conclude Earth Day feeling empowered,
not discouraged.
What Are Some Proposed Events?
Benefit Concert, Earth Day Faire, film festivals, tree plantings, educational
displays, TV and radio programs, beach and park clean-ups, teach-ins for
government officials, school and government environmental impact audits,
an alternative transportation day, school art contests, bicycle century, parade,
` toxic cleanups and recycle-a-thons.

Greetings!
The SLO EARTH DAY COALITION would like to invite SLO county organizations
to become involved in a week long program starting on April 16th and ending
on Earth Day April 22nd 1990. The energy and flow of ideas has been
tremendous! It may seem months away but now is the time to get organized!
In this mailing we have included the following:
* The coalition's goals.
* A diagram showing the themes for each day including possible
topics and issues. Also the organizations we thought might
address these issues.
* A fictional schedule of events to stimulate ideas.
* A post card for groups to sign up to organize events.
The coalition has discussed many possible events, some homegrown and some
to coincide with international events. I'm sure you also have many ideas. To
have Earth Week become reality we need people to help coordinate the
involvement of: Diverse community groups, the media, businesses, government
and K-12 schools. We also need people to assume lead roles in the following
areas: Promotion, fundraising, resources(pool together films, videos, printed
material, speakers, performers etc.), audits(audit government, business, school
and home energy, waste stream, toxic chemicals and resource consumption) and
a coordinator for each theme day.
ACTION!!
1.) Get Earth Week on your next meeting's agenda and discuss this package!
See if someone wants to organize your group's involvement.
2.) Complete the enclosed post card and return it to Marilyn Farmer 3074
Bahia Ct., San Luis Obispo Ca., 93401.
3.) Volunteer to help with this exciting event!!
4.) Consider a financial contribution to the non-profit SLO Earth Day Coalition.
Next meeting: Jan 3, 8:00pm Poly, Science north B1d.53, Rm.201
Please call Jim Merkel 541-0904 or Marilyn Farmer 544-2494 for more
