Earth day



As it happened last year, I remind with a post that on the 22nd of April the Earth Day is celebrated.
This day is designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year.
The promoters organized themselves into a community (Earth Day Network), whose goals are:
  • Promote Civic Engagement
  • Broaden the Meaning of "Environment"
  • Mobilize Communities
  • Implement Groundbreaking Environmental Education Programs
  • Help Bring Clean Water and Sanitation to the World
  • Inspire and engage college students to become environmental leaders
  • Support Earth Day Events and Actions around the World
As the Earth Day Network says "all people, regardless of race, gender, income, or geography, have a moral right to a healthy, sustainable environment!". We don't have to forget that!
