Earth Day 2010

Tomorrow, 22 April, sees the fortieth anniversary of the first Earth Day in 1970.

Earth Day was established to create greater awareness of environmental issues and generate interest in related projects, leading to involvement in a range of practical activities around the world.

“Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.” - Earth Day Network
