Cool World Institute plans to hold a virtual, on-line teach-in on Earth Day, April 22, 2020. That date is the 50th anniversary of the original 1970 Earth Day, in which around 20 million people participated. The original Earth Day included a teach-in, and teach-ins have been an important part of Earth Day ever since.
