April 22, 2010, marked the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the day set aside each year since 1970 to promote awareness and appreciation for the earth's environment. Wisconsin's native son, former Governor and U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, founded Earth Day. This year, in honor of its 40th anniversary, the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies has launched a new website called Gaylord Nelson and Earth Day.
Below: Gaylord Nelson attending a Packer game at Lambeau Field with friends John Reynolds (a Green Bay native who at the time was the Wisconsin State Governor) and Robert Kennedy. Senator Nelson appears to be intently scrutinizing the play of the game. Governor Reynolds looks giddy about his home-town team's chances, like any self-respecting Packer fan ought to. Senator Kennedy...well, he just looks cold.
