OT: Earth Day 2007

[Guest guest]

Get greener, help the planet by reducing your consumption of " stuff " ,

recycle, and generally try to have more awareness. Here's some sites

with information on how-to.

Feel free to add any other links that you feel help raise awareness

of ecological issues that we can address as individuals. It all

starts with one person making a change.

 

I was at the first Earth Day, 1970 on Belmont Plateau in Fairmont

Park, Philadelphia. I found a little item written by someone who was

there as a young child http://tinyurl.com/2p9rol and her memory is

correct: it was more of a celebration, a recognition of how beautiful

the Earth was, we weren't so worried or fearful about its fate as we

are now. We were concerned about environmental issues, but we were

hopeful stuff could be " cleaned up " with our efforts. How naive. We

haven't been vigilant enough, and the Earth is suffering.

 

Here's a Time magazine write up on the birth of Earth Day:

Time for action.
