Did you know that Earth Day was originally going to be called “Environmental Teach-in” Day?
What a snoozer. In came Julien Koenig (yes, father of the famous journalist and Serial Podcast producer Sarah Koenig), who knew that a name like that wouldn’t do. With a nifty bit of branding, Koenig transformed Earth Day into the Earth-wide celebration that he and fellow organizers envisioned.
Now, here we are celebrating the 45th Earth Day and Julien Koenig with these illustrations!
