In September 1969, there was a conference in Seattle, Washington. U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced that in spring 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. This occurred during a time of great concern about overpopulation and when there was a strong movement towards "Zero Population Growth." However, with a larger population, the amount of carbon dioxide released into the Earth would be greater.
