Earth Day 2008
Today is Earth Day 2008. Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970. It took seven years of his planning and campaigning and getting a grassroots campaign going to establish Earth Day as a day to bring attention to the environmental issues that face the Earth. Since that time, Earth Day has blossomed into a large event that is observed around the globe. I hope that holding Earth Day observances actually lead to real action to protect and improve our environment! We only have one Earth to live on, and we need to make sure it is here for our descendents to live on!
