National Environmental Teach-In April 22
Plans are now well underway
for a nationwide Teach-In next
spring, Wednesday, April 22, on
the grave crisis facing the quality
of the environment and the
quality of life in America today.
A national headquarters and
staff to organize, coordinate, and
service this effort is now
established in Washington. The
address is Room 600, 2100 "M"

environmental teach-ins on their
campuses, and associated efforts
in their communities.
Successful teach-ins on all
campuses on the same day will
have a dramatic impact on the
environmental conscience of the
nation. They will be immensely
effective as an educational effort
in a rousing public opinion
concerning necessary steps to
protect our environment and
establish QUALITY on a par with
QUANTITY as a goal of American
life.
There is no question that in the
long run, the environmental
challenge is the greatest faced by
mankind. Distinguished scientific
authorities have been warning for
years that mankind is rapidly
destroying the very habitat on
which he depends for his survival.
In addition, population
continues to increase worldwide -
while scientists warn that we may
have already passed sustainable
population levels. All across the
country, and worldwide.
increasing numbers of citizens are
voicing the same intense concern
as has been so eloquently
expressed by the ecolobists and
other environmentalists.
Yet, many are still not aware of
the environmental problems being
created by our advancing
technology. Federally-financed
projects -- such as the supersonic
transport plane — raise grave
questions about possible new
environmental dangers. Many

At the University of Michigan,
a mass meeting was called recently
by an ad hoc student committee
to plan a teach-in. More than 350
people showed up, and the plan is

We believe the National
Teach-In next April 22nd provides
students the opportunity to
accomplish this objective.
Hundreds of teach-ins on that day
would bring together for the first
time on a national scale the many
young people who are already
concerned about the environment,
and would involve and educate
many more as well.
We look forward to the April
22nd event and ask your support
and leadership. We are convinced
that, if young people put their
energy,, imagination and idealism
to work on this issue, they will
help write a bright new chapter in
the struggle for a livable world.
In addition to bringing this
widespread involvement, the
teach-ins would present
information, draw the issues,
stimulate plans for action, and
demonstrate the strength of
concern for a livable world.

America participate in a
broad-based, student-led teach-in
effort, involving all individuals
