Earth Day 2008
April 22 is Earth Day and many worldwide events have been taking place during the past week to raise public awareness on important environmental issues.
The first Earth Day was held in 1970 on the first day of spring. Although Earth day is celebrated each year, the concept is becoming increasingly popular as the world faces environmental challenges such as extreme weather conditions, including global warming.
If you are concerned with environmental changes and how they are affecting the planet, CNN’s Planet In Peril provides plenty of insight.
You can also visit the United States Environmental Protection Agency website where you’ll find helpful environmental tips to give you an idea of what types of changes you can make to protect the environment while you are at home, school, work, or even when you’re shopping.
WildLife.org is also a fantastic environmental website providing valuable information and a variety of great Earth Day tools for download.
No matter how you choose to celebrate Earth Day remember that small changes can make a big difference as was shown during recent Earth Hour demonstrations around the globe, where participants turned out the lights for one hour to reduce energy.
