EARTH DAY CELEBRATION CONTROVERSY
By John Foegley
(An article criticizing the Michiana Earth Day
Committee for holding Earth Day celebrations
at Scottsdale Mall generated some
discussion in the South Bend Tribune. The
following is an edited version of the · Michiana
Point of View by John Foegley, member
of the St. Joe Valley Greens, published
on April 22 in the Tribune.)
I am a member of the Michiana Earth Day
Steering Committee and was involved in the
decision to have the Earth Day Celebration
at Scottsdale Mall this year. I would like to
share some of the very good reasons we
had for moving the celebration to the Mall.
Rain, wind and the occasional snow
squall are not unusual and tend to make
early spring outdoor events unpleasant - the
weather on April 22 in past years has been
abysmal. If we lived in a perfect world or
even if we had access to an indoor/outdoor
site, Michiana Earth Day organizers would
hold events outside every year. And I have
no doubt that some future events will be
held in local parks. However, this year we
were presented with a unique opportunity.
Michiana Earth Day has limited financial
resources and we were pleased to hear that
Scottsdale Mall wanted to provide us with
space, some promotion, and a dry, warm
space to hold our 1994 events. In addition,
organizers felt it would provide Earth Day
with an opportunity to reach people who
would probably never come to one of our
events in a local park. Perhaps this year we
will reach more senior · citizens, disabled
people and teenagers because the mall is
more accessible or a more frequented location.
In the original Tribune article, the author
bemoaned the isolation produced by our
society. Earth Day tries to overcome that
isolation by providing everyone an opportunity
to come together in a celebration of the
earth. We share ideas, opinions, music,
poetry and even spend time educating ourselves.
l have been involved with Earth Day for
four years and I have yet to talk to anyone
who thought It was a waste of time. It takes
hundreds of hours and many volunteers to
organize Earth Day every year. It takes
planning to pull together the bands and
performance groups and environmental
education programs. We pull it all off on a
shoestring budget because everyone does
their part. Some do more, some less, but
all are equally important to our overall success.
Those who attend and work on our local
Earth Day celebration are rich and poor,
young and old, male and female. We draw
strength from a diversity that crosses all
social and economic barriers. Those who
put on Earth Day and those who attend
change what they can within the limitations
