The History of Earth Day: Tribute to Gaylord Nelson and My Tree-Hugging Dad

Earth Day is extra meaningful to me because of the work of my dad, Carl Scholz, who was an activist and tree hugger way before it was cool. As a teenager, he was influenced by meeting one of his heroes, Aldo Leopold, a renowned ecologist and author. Later in life, he was appointed by Gaylord Nelson to the Wisconsin Natural Resource Commission.
