Earth Day 2009

Today is the 39th Earth Day. It was started in the United States in 1970 as an environmental awareness event with 20 million people participating. In 2009 it is projected that over 1 billion men, women and children in 174 countries around the world will be involved in earth day activities.

People will have the environment on their minds today, as they should. More than ever we need to seriously change our consumption habits if we want to leave the earth inhabitable for future generations. We must also continue to keep the pressure on governments and businesses to make environmental issues a priority.

Although Earth Day is a wonderful idea, what really matters is what we do everyday, 365 days of the year.
