Santa Barbara’s Role in the Birth of the Environmental Movement
From the time he saw the Apollo 8 Earthrise photo, Marc McGinnes has been a champion for the planet. In aftermath of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil blowout and spill that ignited the environmental movement, he organized the first Environmental Rights Day, on January 28, 1970, that led to the first Earth Day observances on April 2 of the same year. He co-founded the Community Environmental Council, the Environmental Defense Center, and the Community Mediation Council. Since 1971, he has won numerous teaching awards as a faculty member of the Environmental Studies Program at UCSB.
