Denis Hayes

Denis Hayes, President and CEO of the Bullitt Foundation, has spent much of his life trying to apply ecological principles to human institutions. He is probably still best known for having been National Coordinator of the first Earth Day when he was 25. But he also is the seasoned veteran of many environmental legislative and litigation victories over the years; author of "Nuclear Power: the Fifth Horseman"; and a former director of the Nuclear Control Institute. During the Carter Administration, Denis directed the federal National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He has been a visiting scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, a senior fellow at the Worldwatch Institute, an adjunct professor of engineering at Stanford University, and a Silicon Valley lawyer. Internationally, he is recognized for having expanded the Earth Day Network to more than 180 nations. Earth Day is now the world's most widely observed secular holiday.
