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