Earth Day 2012
Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to support the environment and protest environmental pollution. Its genesis was an oil spill of 3 million gallons by an oil well off the coast of Santa Barbara, California in 1969 that killed more than 10,000 seabirds, dolphins, seals and sea lions. That galvanized environmentalists into action. The next year, the first Earth Day was observed.
In 2012, a group of San Francisco nudists organized an Earth Day bike ride. The leader is above.
Other participants included nudist activist Andy Tabbat, left, and Bruce Alexander.
Another participant wore a San Francisco Giants baseball cap and little else.
A rear view of the Giants guy was captioned "Spreading his wings."
Here's the whole group that gathered for the ride.
They set off down Market Street.
Here's the Giants guy on his bike.
Then they rode down to the harbor, passing the tourists at Fisherman's Wharf.

We end with a photo taken on Earth Day twenty years earlier, in 1992, with Andrew Martinez at left and Andy Tabbat at right holding a bumper sticker promoting a tolerant attitude toward nudity: "Hey man, it's just a dick." Andy is the same guy who is in the second photo above.
And you know what? They're right. Half the population of the Earth has a penis, so why is it such a big deal when we see one? It's just a dick.

Looks like a good time was had by all. Mr. Martinez has what I like in a man.
Not much difference has been made, huh?
I go even farther: it's just skin!
Andrew Martinez was the UC “The Naked Guy”
