In his address, Hayes--who dropped out of Harvard Law School to organize the first Earth Day in 1970--spoke at length about the damage being done to the environment on a global scale.
Hayes said the burning of carbon dioxide-producing diesel fuels is part of our habit of "running today's world on nineteenth century technology," which he called outdated and inefficient.
Hayes said he hopes to increase participation in Earth Day in 2000 to half a billion people. Publicity will be massive for the event, and will be carried out in places ranging "from the sides of cereal boxes to the Internet," he said.
"There is no hope but to mobilize people," Hayes said.
The featured expert at the panel was Denis Hayes, the creator of the first Earth Day and the chair and chief executive officer of the Earth Day Network, which organizes the event.
