Overview Fifty-one years ago, the very first Earth Day celebrations were held on the University of Michigan campus.  The Teach-In on the Environment was an event that helped crystallize the public consensus that something had to be done.  On March 11, 1970, a 50,000-strong cadre packed the newly-christened Crisler Arena to kick off what has been called, “the most famous little-known event in American history.” The four-day teach-in was successful.  Doug Scott, who, in 1970, was a graduate student in the forest recreation program of the School of Natural Resources and co-chair of ENACT, the group that organized the teach-in said it was something that everybody could get behind.  He noted it appealed not only in terms of wanting to keep the place we live clean, but to the American style of wanting to be involved and present.
