Dear Friends,
I just wanted to wish all of you a very happy Earth Day. As a proud member
of Earth911, I would like to share with you the history of Earth Day from
www.earth911.org:
"" On April 22, 1970, people across the country united to validate the
importance of the environment and take action. Earth Day was initiated by
Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who said he was determined to "forcibly
thrust the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into
the political dialogue of the nation." He manifested the nations
environmental cause through what started as a 'teach-in' to protest the
governments environmental ignorance. His accomplishment in the
environmental arena eventually led to fundamental legislation, including the
Environmental Policy Act (1969), the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water
Act (1977) and fuel efficiency standards for automobiles. ""
We all want to do something to make a difference, but what to do? If you
have not already, I encourage you to visit http://www.greenpeace.org and get
involved. Greenpeace, a former YFCI affiliate link-to partner, is taking a
stand for a better world through grass-root projects.
How about this, lets celebrate Earth Day, every day! We don't just need to
celebrate it today, but all of the 365 days of the year.
Have a wonderful Earth Day(Week),
Zach Komes
