Earth Day

04/22/2009 - 00:00

Earth Day is a name used by two different observances held annually in the (northern) spring, both intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. Earth Day is in the public domain and open to all persons to shape. Some grassroots Earth Day organizers seek to move the date of the observance to the Summer Solstice, to take advantage of the warm temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere (where most people live) to create greater participation.

"un-informed"?! i think this is your standard case of "the pot calling the kettle black".

it's always nice to see the right-wing agenda at work in the self-righteous minds of people like this.

Global warming is a scam
Toxic metals are natural
Nuclear Energy is the cleanest and most efficient energy source
The spotted owl is about as endangered as the Chinese are in Hong Kong

Why must we have a day to celebrate the perpetuation of mass hysteria among the un-informed public? Don't litter, leave things they way you found it, and respect nature.
Those are the things we all learned as kids. If we just take care following the simple rules every day we could turn Earth Day into another, more meaningful holiday, like something that would all give us an extra day off once a year.
