Earth Day 2010
Earth Day -- April 22 -- each year is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment.
Earth Day, celebrated in the US on April 22, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisconsin) as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year. This date is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. "The earth is in greater peril than ever, but there is also unprecedented opportunity to build a new future. Earth Day has the power to bring about historic advances in climate policy, renewable energy and green jobs and catalyze millions who make personal commitments to sustainability - “A Billion Acts of Green” – mobilizing the power of people to create change by taking small steps in our homes, our schools and our businesses that add up to an enormous collective action." http://www.earthday.net/earthday2010 How can you help? *Share this, and other information about Earth Day, with your blog readers so that we can all harness the power of the blogosphere to make Earth Day 2010 the most successful Earth Day in history. * Read the Earth Day Blog to learn more about how you can help and the important issues and challenges facing our Earth. * Check out the resources on the official Earth Day site at http://www.earthday.net/node/88 and create an Event using "Earth Day in a Box". * Post an Action Badge on Your Blog and spread the word about the importance of Earth Day 2010.
