Ptge 24 _IRAIN FeblMar 1977 Underground America'Day -Saturday, May 14 Malcolm Wells P.O. Box 183 Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 The idea of using trees and wildflowers instead of asphalt and concrete to cover parking lots and buildings has finally arrived! The only trouble is nobody knows it' lf you say something, and then I say something, and then som.bn. else says somCthing about underground's advantages very ligtle will happen. We've all got to say it together, that it's not only quiet and warm in winter but cool in summertime and beautiful as well. we've got to break down all the welljustified prejudices and show people that u.nderground buildingr "r. dry and sunny inside. ThCn the politicians and bankers ".id n.*rp.ople and ordinary citizens will see that there is an alternative to the mess we see outside every window today. I've very carefully chosen a day, May 14ttr, on which l great numbei of us, al[ over America, can publicize and celebrate underground architecture in whatever way seems appropriate. This rieans planning events, letting as many peo-ple as possible know about them, ind then staging them in such a way that people not ordinarily aware-of such things can begin to piciure ttr.living'green cities, the silence and the wild animals we can have at our doorsteps in this way. What you do, and how you do it, of course' are strictly up to you. You know far better than I what will be most effective whlre you live. The events-or exhibits-or shows-or publi-- cations you arrange can be very modest and inexpensive and still be iffective. All t ask is that they all be done on a particular day. Dig a hole, spread mulch on a roof, plant a tree, visit acave.. . who knows? If you'll let me know what you plan-and,.later, how it work;d, I'll assemble all the repord and send you a national summary. Good luck!
