It is no longer "http://www.earthsocietyfoundation.org", it is now "https://earthsocietyfoundation.com"

This broken link appears twice:

Primary source for 20 million at the first Earth Day, 1970?

Might anyone have a primary source for the claim that, 'The first Earth Day ... "brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform"'?

A brief web search produced a number of different web sites that contained this claim. However, I couldn't find one that seemed authoritative as either an article from a news publication from shortly after the event or a scholarly article that cited such source(s). Google Scholar identified an article that appeared to support that claim. However, it's behind a paywall, and my recent efforts to obtain such articles without paying a price I consider exorbitant have all ended in failure.

References

problem with a reference

@TheSameGuy: I see:

<ref>name="pacific-standard-1969-oil-spill"</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://curious.kcrw.com/2017/04/how-the-1969-santa-barbara-oil-spill-sparked-earth-day |title=How the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill sparked Earth Day|author=Jonathan Bastian|date=April 21, 2017|publisher=KCRW|accessdate=May 9, 2018}}</ref>

Is there a definition like <ref name="pacific-standard-1969-oil-spill">...</ref> someplace in this article? If yes, then do you want <ref name="pacific-standard-1969-oil-spill"/> here to point to that note?

Or is this supposed to be that definition, like

<ref name="pacific-standard-1969-oil-spill">{{cite web |url=https://curious.kcrw.com/2017/04/how-the-1969-santa-barbara-oil-spill-sparked-earth-day |title=How the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill sparked Earth Day|author=Jonathan Bastian|date=April 21, 2017|publisher=KCRW|accessdate=May 9, 2018}</ref>?

Is it one of these or something else? And might this provide the info you need to be able to fix this? If no, please advise. I will look at it again. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia and helping educate the world. DavidMCEddy (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Please move the following paragraph from the section Earth Day 2000 to 2019 to the section Earth Day 1990 to 1999.

To turn Earth Day into a sustainable annual event rather than one that occurred every 10 years, Nelson and Bruce Anderson, New Hampshire's lead organizers in 1990, formed Earth Day USA. Building on the momentum created by thousands of community organizers around the world, Earth Day USA coordinated the next five Earth Day celebrations through 1995, including the launch of EarthDay.org. Following the 25th Anniversary in 1995, the coordination baton was handed to Earth Day Network.
