Thanks to you, Earth Day 2008 was the biggest yet! From Tokyo to Togo, to our flagship event on the National Mall in Washington, DC and 7 other U.S. cities, we galvanized millions of people around the world behind a Call for Climate, our global warming action theme. Hundreds of millions of people from every corner of the planet raised their voices to urge significant and equitable action on climat
well it's not actually footprints but installation art made by the local kids. they were the same kids who made the flags.it wasn't exactly part of the program for the earth day celebration but since the kids were also there sir totep took the opportunity to teach them how to appreciate the things they see everyday and taught them how to make an installation art.in definition ---> Installation art
with the march of the flags on its way, lafayette also awarded the different participants who took part in making them at their respective barangays.future artists in the making..hehe..
remember the flags i told you on the previous article?"i joined the group who was to clean the shores at barangay pagcolbon. we were also the group who was to carry the flags made by the local kids from the host communities..it was part of they're summer art workshop sponsored by lafayette.."(Earth Day '08: beach clean-up)the flags were actually streamers/banners/logos/posters, i don't know exactl

With this year's theme, "Tubig- Buhay natin. Ating Pagyamanin.", Lafayette and its staff and employees were all set to take part on this year's Earth Day celebration last April 22, 2008.I got the chance to join there activities 'coz my camp visit was scheduled the day before and i was booked to stay there for 2 days and two nights. lucky me! hehe.they're celebration started with a simple opening p
The 9 o'clock sun on May 3 began to burn down on those assembled at Angke-Kapuk Nature Recreation Park (TWA Angke-Kapuk) in North Jakarta. The air was becoming hotter and hotter, but this did not wilt the high spirits of the hundreds who had come from the Regina Caely Church Community in Pantai Indah Kapuk and from the Telkom Vocational Senior High School) in Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, to listen to Murni's briefing on mangrove-planting techniques.Sri Lela Murniwati, 64, who is known simply as Ibu Murni, has been working at the TWA Angke-Kapuk since 1998, when she received a decree by then forestry minister Djamaluddin Suryohadikusumo appointing her to manage the 99-hectare coastal park.Murni's entry to reforestation is unique. One day when she visited Benoa, Bali, she saw the lush vegetatio
This is the logo as seen on on 22nd April 2008 which is Earth Day. Google wants educators to Celebrate Earth Day in the classroom using Google Earth, Maps, and SketchUp. Google wants us to help in reducing pollution by planning our trip using public transportation on Google Transit.Sadly, Bangkok is not in the Google Transit list yet.
My friend asked me this question when I told him I was invited at Lafayette in Rapu-Rapu just in time too for their Earth Day celebration last April 22.His initial reaction was quite funny but it also made me think isn’t earth day a celebration of environmental awareness? And where does mining, or should I say Lafayette fit into all that?To better understand things I googled earth day for some background.According to www.wikipedia.com ; the very first earth day was held on April 22, 1970 which was proposed by US Senator Gaylord Nelson as a nationwide environmental protest to thrust the environment onto the national agenda. It was a huge success, influencing other countries to join the succeeding years making it an international grassroots activism.Up until now, countries from all over wo
Following on from an earlier post by Ons, I went to the Barcelona Earth Day celebration in Parc Ciudadela. I had never been before so I allotted a good 4 hours for my excursion. That was a gross miscalculation!! I ended up spending the whole day there (almost 8 hours).

22 April is Earth Day. Let's celebrate this day by doing a good thing to our earth........We can switch off the electrical appliances which actually not in use , stop smoking , off your tape , stop littering etc... Hope that many of our generation will celebrate this day in the future!
Jeremy and I wanted to involve our children in a family project for Earth Day this year. Going over a list of things we could do (see our previous blog -day-2008-call-for-climate-april.html), we decided to plant some fruit trees.We planted two semi-dwarf Fuji apple trees and selected a place on our property where the trees would have full southern exposure alongside the driveway. They are about 7-8’ high already and have started to blossom.Our children, ages four, nine, thirteen, and fifteen helped by digging two holes three times the size of the root ball, mixed organic garden soil with the native soil, and planted the trees. They helped build the rock retaining walls and finished by watering the newly planted trees. Local organic fertilizer and mulch will wrap up the project. We expect
Here's my belated Earth Day post where I take up Boss Sander's challenge of trying to reduce my trash to nothing for one day. Since I knew this would be impossible, I documented every piece of trash I threw out instead, with commentary on possible options to reduce and reuse it. And somehow, it neatly fits into a Thursday Thirteen post as well.Blister package for Claritin substitute. All medication of this type, no matter how large the quantity, is encapsulated in blister packaging which is completely useless. You cannot reuse it or re-purpose it in any way and it is made from a paper, foil and plastic combination that is totally non-recyclable. What are my options here? Not take the medicine and suffer through spring time allergies? Fight this sort of packaging and endure the wrath

World celebrated Earth Day with gusto as students, common people and governments showed lots of enthusiasm for the day. However does such events and celebrations serve their purpose or are just a way to overlook grave danger and desist responsibility... Global concentration of carbon dioxide is now nearly 385 parts per million. Preindustrial carbon dioxide levels hovered around 280 ppm until 1850. Human activities pushed those levels up to 380 ppm by early 2006. Though no one can accurately predict the tipping point at which global catastrophe will occur, since 2000, annual increases of two parts per million or more have been common, compared with 1.5 ppm per year in the 1980s and less than one ppm per year during the 1960s, according to NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory. Common perc

Ok, I forgot to wish everyone a HAPPY EARTH DAY!! Its pretty much over,but everyday should be Earth Day!! I am newly green(ish) so I wanted to throw that out there!!I did something I never did before, I went to work when I was not even scheduled. Did not even realize until like 2 hours into the shift. What a dope!! I stayed and completed the shift out of the kindness of my heart (and emptiness in my bank acct). I was off all weekend and saw a blurb on Nightline about all the shootings in Chicago over the weekend (yes, it was bad enough to make Nightline) I was kinda dreading going in because I work in a busy ER in a not-so-great part of town, all we need are a bunch of gun-toting lunatics running around town shooting at innocent folks!! Thankfully we were not too busy and I was even able
Welcome toWorks for Me Wednesday,sponsored byRocks In My Dryer.Since yesterday was Earth Day, I thought I'd share a few green living tips--ways we help the earth, and you can too.We open our doors to let air conditioning outside. We want to do our part to help stop global warming and figure that if everyone did this, maybe we could cool the earth back down and once again weather would resume to normal behavior. No more 80 degree April days in Vermont!We throw our banana peels and apple cores outside to feed animals and fertilize the ground by what they leave behind. I hope this will make our sandy lot more garden friendly so we can start growing our own vegetables instead of buying pesticide laden ones from the grocery store.We buy recycled napkins--lots of them.

What does Earth Day mean to me? As a photography hobbyist who love taking pictures of nature, at least in my side of the world, this global celebration means a lot. I may not have joined conservation or lobby groups, but I have a deep appreciation of the need to protect Mother Earth. I watched last night the National Geographic special titled Earth Report and that gave me a wider understanding of what has been happening to our world - degradation and abuse mainly caused by humans. Figures on carbon emission are staggering; prospects in the next decades are frightening. Which is why a deep-rooted awareness of everyone through celebrations like Earth Day, and the resolve of people and countries to stem activities that contribute to global warming, are welcome developments. Though violent and

You can’t save the planet. You can replace all the incandescent bulbs in your house, drive less, bike more, buy green power, take shorter showers, eat locally, go vegetarian, buy fair-trade coffee, super-insulate your home, drive a hybrid, telecommute, brew your own biodiesel, grow veggies, recycle milk jugs, stop flying, fight less & pray more, put solar panels on your roof, maintain a worm bin, stop watching TV, walk more, compost food scraps, exercise more, stop eating fast food, wear organic cotton clothes, take the bus, move closer to work, take eco-vacations, plant trees, shop at the local farmers market, and it still won’t save the planet. Not even close.Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t do some or all of those things. On this Earth Day, we (and I mean ALL of us) are faci
With today being Earth Day 2008 here in the United States, I thought it would be good to highlight some eco-friendly gadgets for all the gadget lovers out there who want to do their part for the environment.

You can be on the cutting edge of technology and still be green.Read more...
Nella giornata dell'Earth Day, la Coldiretti ci propone un decalogo per consumi sostenibili dal punto di vista ambientale e climatico. Clima:istruzioni per l'uso, questo il nome del decalogo, si compone di una serie di piccoli accorgimenti nella spesa e nel consumo degli alimenti che, se applicati dalle famiglie italiane, potrebbe contribuire al taglio delle emissioni di gas ad effetto serra per ben 2 mila chilogrammi (CO2 equivalenti) all'anno . La Coldiretti ripercorre poi un tema a noi caro, ovvero quello degli effetti sull'ambiente dei lunghi trasporti che percorrono i cibi prima di giungere sulle nostre tavole . I dati citati parlano di quasi 2000 chilometri percorsi per ogni pasto consumato, con forte prevalenza, soprattutto in Italia, del trasporto su strada con forti sprechi

By David WilsonThe early 1970s marked the start of Earth Day, a day set aside to give thanks to mother earth for nourishing us and to give back by cleaning up litter and setting plans to be more environmentally conscious.NHS environmental clubs organized groups that met at the Nutley Oval and then went out into the parks and cleaned things up. Many people, who were ahead of their time, pleaded with us to change our ways — or dire consequences would result.Now, here we are almost 40 years later, after decades of extracting every drop of oil, using every gallon of water, inventing all kinds of chemicals, making everything out of plastic and using every resource we can find now saying: “What have we done to ourselves and this planet?”Sure, we recycle our cans and bottles, shop with clo

Our family has been working hard to be as green as possible. We recycle, we reuse, we reduce and we respect the Earth by making conscientious choices. In honor of Earth Day(everyday should be Earth Day), we decided to help the Earth by helping others! Yes, you read that correctly :) We think that by helping others "be green" and by spreading our ideas about "green living", we can make more of an impact.Did you know that plastic bags are made from petroleum? Yes, they are made from oil. As a matter of fact, Americans use over 380 billion bags every year, throwing away millions of barrels of oil.Each year, approximately 6 billion plastic bags are consumed in Los Angeles County alone. This is equivalent to 600 bags per person per year. Nationwide, 60,000 plastic bags are used every five secon

Today is Earth Day. If we continue to abuse our planet, the planet's demise together with its inhabitants (that's us!) is not far behind.It has become a universal concern to protect the environment. Global changes in climate are happening;the sea level is changing; air and water are getting more polluted. There is scarcity of food. We should be aware of all these. We have the future of our children and our children's children to consider.What can we do to help? Here are some real-easy-to-follow green tips for you.1. Remember the 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle2.

The post dedicated to 'THE PLANET EARTH'.The 10 ways to help u save our Earth.1. Change light bulbs Highly efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) last for years, use a quarter of the energy of regular bulbs and actually produce more light. Look for the government's ENERGY STAR label, which means the bulb has been tested for quality and efficiency. While each ENERGY STAR qualified bulb will cost more initially—anywhere from $3 to $9 a piece—remember that there are two price tags: what you pay at the register and what you pay in energy costs to over the bulb's lifetime. So you may pay more up front, but you will actually save hundreds of dollars in your household budget over the long term because of their long life. While CFLs were harder to find a few years ago, they're now

Through research, I have found that there are primarily two or three issues that take center-stage in every Earth-saving campaign: pollution and resource utilization.

Today is Earth Day, and I have something to say that has been brewing for months.I am wholeheartedly unimpressed by what has become of our nation's "green effort," as well as the green efforts of nearly everyone I know - myself very much included. And here is why.Our environmental efforts have been subtly turned on their head. The whole point is to stop consuming; or at least, to consume less. But daily now I receive print ads encouraging me to be green, or email ads suggesting that I buy this or that latest green product. The people around me compare their latest green purchases - that cool new water bottle, those trendy new re-usable shopping bags; they flip through catalogs and consider what their next green purchases will be.Wait! Stop!Have we forgotten that the point of all this
There are so many things you can do today to positively impact our environment. That's what Earth Day is all about.

New GrowthThis Blue Spruce pine tree was the first tree we planted at our home over 25 years ago.It has been transplanted and moved many times as it grew, and has been in its final location for over 15 years now.The new growth each spring is a most beautiful shade of green, and by summer it has darkened to match the rest of the needles on the tree.The little chickadees hide and flit around in her branches year round.Some flower gardening and seed planting is on the agenda for this Earth Day 2008.

Hey everyone,Tomorrow is 22-April and its Earth Day. Do you think, we can do something online for our Planet.My answer to that is YES, and sure we can do a lot online for our planet.There are many websites like free cycle (An initiative by Yahoo), global warming and many more who provide people online to register for free and do something for our planet.What do sites like these do?These sites allows members to join for free globally and allows them to list for free to list just about anything we want to get rid off.Their mission is to keep things out of landfills. They allow members to post or email about what they are seeking to get or give in their free cycle groups, which are broken down by geography. So, members are basically communicating with neighbors.Members interested in offered i

Well, I wasn’t planning on blogging about Earth Day. It’s so cliche to that, really, when everyone else in the world is doing it, too. What more could I possibly add? Nothing, really. I’ll just leave you with this cartoon, courtesy thedailygreen.com. Oh, how I can relate to this….

To say Earth Day is a big event would be an understatement, today over 1 billion people at rallies, concerts and neighborhood cleanups will take part and that’s also in 174 countries. Why should we care? Well the answer is simple, it’s the Earth that place we all live on and should look after. This [...]
This is Earth Day. It seems so silly to have to have a special day set aside for our Earth because we should all be aware of Mother Nature all year round? We live in such a fast pace, hectic world and we forget about the basics right in front of us. Do the majority of people just assume that the Earth will take care of itself just because for so long, it has. With all we do to it, it cannot
Imagine, 1 billion people doing something on Earth Day! I can’t. But I thought I’d join the crowd. So I walked to school this morning (though I rode my motorbike in the afternoon – it was too hot (a poor excuse, but don’t come to Saigon in April!)). And then we discussed it in my class (I learned that by 2040, over half of the Mekong Delta will be unsuitable for agriculture because of the rising sea level!). And then I was talking with Mary Jane, and she suggested we write something about it, like how it relates to Haiku God. Well, basically, the Earth IS Haiku God, in the form of matter (contractive energy). “Mother” Earth as contractive energy is one side of the equation (E=mc2). The other side is E, electromagnetic energy (spirit). Unfortunately, most westerners onl

(There's a story behind these photos, which will hopefully be shared before long. And yes, I made the wings.)
The different domains of the globe can be separated by categories: earth, air, and water. Earth Day celebrates all three domains collectively in an attempt to encourage each of us to nurture and respect our own relationship with the environment. But in Colorado there seems to be a more pressing concern, our water, or better said, the lack of it.Yesterday afternoon I watched a small dark grey plume of smoke over a ridge in Castle Rock. I later learned that two residential homes were burned but at the time I felt the sickening dread of "fire season". My family was intimately involved in the Hayman Fire in 2000. Dread, fueled by slippery winds and erratic fire paths, toyed with our emotions and our property for days. Would we be spared? Sadly we watched acres of gorgeous Colorado mountain te

Today marks the celebration of Earth Day throughout the whole month of April by contributing to green community and the economy for a positive solution in fighting global warming and climate change.
But honestly, having just one day dedicated to environmental awareness is just about completely useless. It takes more than 24 hours for someone to try and change consumption habits. If someone truly wishes to have any significant impact, he ought to work ceaselessly at this one goal. A thorough education is much preferred to a day of hippies jumping around.I maintain my mode of life, regardless of what the calendar says. I don't need an Earth Day to be conservative with a limited set of resources. Seriously guys, grow up.
Earth Day (22 April) is one of the Google regular days that its logo has changed. To commemorate holidays and events, Google has put logos designed for those days.Well, who has designed them? Professional designer who occasionally employed by Google, from public subscription or someone who works full time for Google?The logos are created by Dennis Hwang who is a webmaster of Google and also designs Google special logos, but the work for logos is only 20% job of him.By the way, I'm so proud of his last name that is the same with my one, Hwang, very unusual Korean name.
April 22nd is Earth Day. Why not take some time today to think of a new way to help out mother earth. Maybe you can start recycling, maybe you can start using more energy efficient light bulbs, maybe you can buy Energy Star rated appliances, maybe you can choose Green Building products for your next remodeling project, maybe you can use low flow shower heads, sink faucets and toilets, maybe you can make a difference. If we all take one small step each year there will certainly be a positive effect on our environment.Tags: home improvement, home improvement blog, environment, energy efficiency, energy star, green building

Choices are few (and even fewer for fashionistas on a budget). But if you wanna make green fashion choices and don't necessarily have the green to do it, here are a few good places to start.Arizona Jeans Green ZoneUses left-over fabric reclaimed from fabric mills, which is then respun, rewoven and remade into fab jeans, shorts and tees. Affordable too! Prices range from $15 - $30.Levi's® eco Jeans made from 100% organic cotton. What's the diff? Organic cotton is grown without the use of chemical pesticides and insecticides
The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970 and was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson, who had long pondered about finding a way to “put the environment into the political ‘limelight’ once and for all” (his words).There are actually two Earth Day celebrations (the other one is held in March on the equinox) but we focus on the April 22 Earth Day, which is now celebrated in most countries of the world. Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others :1.
