Earth Day Co-chairs <br />Governor Rudy Perpich <br />Senator David Durenberger <br />MINNESOTA <br />P.O. Box 10329; Minneapolis, Minnesota 55458-3329 <br />(612) 627-4049 <br />February 21, 1990 <br />14QR 7 100n <br />Resolution Committee Co-chairs <br />Attorney Gen. Hubert H. Humphrey III <br />U. S. Congressman Vin Weber <br />Dear Minnesota Mayor.: <br />Earth Day 1990 presents a unique opportunity to focus public attention on resolving our <br />environmental problems. The Minnesota Earth Day 1990 Advisory Committee, composed of leaders <br />from business, environmental and government organizations, is helping to design a series of <br />activities and events that will increase public understanding of environmental problems and the ways <br />these problems can be resolved. <br />One of the guiding principles of Earth Day 1990 is inclusiveness. Regardless of what city, state <br />or nation we -reside in, we all share planet Earth as our home. The goal of Earth Day 1990 is to raise <br />the level of public awareness about our environment and to educate people about actions they can take <br />on behalf of the environment. Earth Day 1990 is the ultimate expression of the phrase "think <br />globally; act locally". Earth Day 1990 will be the product of a huge coalition of loosely affiliated <br />organizations, reaching far beyond existing environmental constituencies to involve the broadest <br />possible cross section of participants. Around the world, across America, and here in Minnesota, <br />individuals and groups are already planning activities and events to celebrate Earth Day. <br />As co -chairpersons of the Minnesota Earth Day 1990 Resolutions Committee, we urge you to <br />join elected officials in local jurisdictions across America in passing resolutions like the sample <br />resolution enclosed with this letter. With your help we can demonstrate why Minnesota is recognized <br />as an environmental leader among the states. <br />Finally, after your organization has passed the resolution, we request that you send a copy to <br />us in care of Minnesota Earth Day 1990, P.O. Box 10329, Minneapolis, MN 55458-3329. On behalf of <br />Minnesota Earth Day 1990, we would like to thank you for your help in making Earth Day in <br />Minnesota a great success! <br />Sincerely, <br />HUBERT H.
