Seif announced yesterday that Pennsylvania's 1996 Earth Day celebration will emphasize "Taking the Next Step" from measures to prevent pollution. The series of events will culminate on May 27, birthday of environmental pioneer, and Pennsylvania native Rachel Carson. "In 1962, Rachel Carson of Springdale in Allegheny County sounded the nation's environmental wake-up call with her book, Silent Spring, and with varying speed the country reponsded," Seif said. "By 1971, both the federal Environmental Protection Agency and our predecessor agency, the Department of Environmental Protection, had been formed and the regulatory era was underway. Today, after a quarter century of progress, we are 'Taking the Next Step' to recognize both her legacy and our future." According to Seif, stressing the prevention of pollution, rather than merely promulgating regulations and punishing offenders after pollution occurs, Student Events is the way to move environmental policy forward into the 21st century. This policy is at the core of the transition occurring in Pennsylvania under DEP's leadership.
