APRIL 19, 1990 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON SELECT EDUCATION, COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND LABOR, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in Room 2175, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Major Owens [Chairman] presiding. Members present:Representatives Owens, Martinez, Payne, Jontz, Bartlett and Ballenger. Staff present: Wanser Green, Laurence Peters, Sally Lovejoy and Theda Zawaiza. Chairman OWENS. The Subcommittee on Select Education will come to order. I have a brief opening statement. On Sunday, April 22, Earth Day will be celebrated throughout the world. This year, as a demonstration of a new era of environ- mentalism, the coordhators of Earth Day are asking each partici- pant to plant and care for at least one tree. In response, as many as one billion new seedlings and saplings are expected to appear across the continent. Nothing could symbolize better the potential benefits of environ- mental education than the prosrect of new seeds representingnew thinking that is nurtured through the educationalprocess. We iully understand the urgent need to educate,even at the highest levels, especially when we recall that our former President said that, "Approximately 80 percent of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation." Quoting again, "All of the waste in a year from a nuclear power plantcan be stored under a desk." It is our hope that this kind of unenlightened view has been finally put to rest. The history of Federal efforts to establishan Office of Environ- mental Education has not been a particularly happyone. We hope that one of the results of today's hearings will be to gaina firm commitment from the Administration to support the implementa- tion of strong and sustainable legislation. H.R. 3684, the National Environmental Education Act,repre- sents a small beacon of hope that can reverse the neanderthal atti- tudes about the environment and set us on a path to nurture those values that can secure our future on this planet. As a new generation of leaders makes its contribution, I'msure that they will bear in mind President Kennedy's words, "Never III 0r 2 before has man had such a capacity to control his environment, to end thirst and hunger, to conquer poverty and disease, to banish illiteracy and massive human misery. We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind

Not only did his environmentally and socially- conscious music resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, it helped strengthen his voice as a devoted humanitarian and activist. Denver remains to this day an iconic American figure who managed to bridge the gap between the pop, folk, and country music genres.

  • Windstar Vision Was Written Before John Denver’S Death in a Plane Crash on October 12, 1997
    Dedicated to a Peaceful and Sustainable FutureVisionVisionSummer/Fall1997 The Passing of a Poet The sunshine has left our shoulders for a time. John Denver died. He was killed doing what he loved and I guess that’s the way it ought to be. When you finish your work, you are called home and your earthly work is then left for others to continue for great souls exist to educate and inspire. John was a poet, a singer of songs, a friend to many, an idol of millions the world over. Through the sadness and the emptiness of our hearts, we honor our friend with personal memories of his laughter and his profound intellect. We remember his public gifts of song and self, his harmonies of love and nature, his vision for a sustain- able future and all of the joys of life he shared through an extraordinary ability to entertain. His songs would take us to places where troubles couldn’t reach, at least for a while. His lyrics encouraged us to seek a higher ground. His hugs were special for they were given without condition and his smile personified his spirit and his love of life. In time, we will celebrate his life without the salty sadness of tears. And that’s right. We all come into this John Denver world, make choices, make sacrifices, laugh a little, love a little, cry a little and learn through experience that the true 1943–1997 importance of life is to share our gifts, to be true to ourselves and to make the world a little better place to President and Founder live.

  • Thanks to Jddpro for Sharing the Show and the Front Cover at Dime. Jddpro Noted: the Windstar Foundation Was an Environmental Ed
    Thanks to jddpro for sharing the show and the front cover at Dime. jddpro noted: The Windstar Foundation was an environmental education organization founded by John Denver and Thomas Crum in 1976 in Snowmass, Colorado. John Denver started giving concerts to the members of the foundation during the annual Windstar Symposium in the mid-’80s, and this is the earliest known recording of such concerts. There are also recordings of the Windstar symposium concerts from 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1995. The Foundation closed its doors in October 2012, voted to dissolve, and sold its property for US$8.5 million in early 2013. The theme of this symposium was “The Heart of Relationship”, as suggested by Thomas Crum. I received this recording as June 12-14, 1987, but the concert was obviously recorded on one of the days. As John mentioned “a full moon out there” before singing the last song, the date of the concert should be in the middle of a lunar month. So it could only be June 12, which was the 17th day of the 5th month that year in the lunar calendar. The three bonus tracks, including two Hank Williams covers, are from a 1987 benefit concert for Windstar. + + + + + Lineage: Soundboard > Cassette Tapes > WAV > Goldwave > Track Splitting > WAV > Trader’s Little Helper > SBE Fix > FLAC Level 8 01.

  • Ecological Art: Counterculture Environmentalism in the Arts of the 1960S and 70S
    ECOLOGICAL ART: COUNTERCULTURE ENVIRONMENTALISM IN THE ARTS OF THE 1960S AND 70S A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY NATHAN RIVERS DR. DOUGLAS SEEFELDT – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2019 ABSTRACT DISSERTATION/THESIS/RESEARCH PAPER/CREATIVE PROJECT: Ecological Art: Counterculture Environmentalism in the Arts of the 1960s and 70s STUDENT: Nathan Rivers DEGREE: Master of Arts COLLEGE: Science and Humanities DATE: December 2019 PAGES: 151 This study examines the appearance of countercultural environmentalism within artistic forms of music, literature, and Land Art sculpture during the peak years of the American counterculture in the 1960s and 70s. The work builds on scholarship that has examined countercultural environmentalism from socially and scientifically oriented perspectives and concludes that that artistic forms should be included within updated definitions of this brand of environmentalism. By utilizing a series of case studies focusing on specific artists within each of the examined artistic genres, both the influence of countercultural environmentalism on the arts and the impact of the arts on the development of this form of ecological thinking are seen, thereby indicating its overarching presence within the art world. Many also took further action outside of their artwork, using the fame they had gained to spread their counterculturally-charged messages of ecological sustainability and environmentally friendly lifestyles.
