Earth Day, April 22, 2008 - Earth Day ,first celebrated on March 21,1970 and founded by John McConnell, is a day when Americans and other people from all over the world can participate in doing their part to change global warming and climate change by making small changes which make big differences.
It's a day when people celebrate by committing to changes, and participating in those changes, like riding a bike to school or work, hanging their laundry to dry instead of using a dryer, fixing leaky faucets or using cold water to do laundry instead of hot water. These things all reduce the amount of harmful carbon emitted into the air, referred to as our "carbon footprint."
Listed below this entry are a few ways you can make small changes which can make big differences when done on a daily and continued basis. It's not too late to start making changes. If we all pull together, we can start to rewind some of the damage we have created.
Also included below are some links to visit to understand more of what Earth Day is all about, plus many more things you can do to help. It's also a great way to spend time with your family and friends, and get kids involved and explain to them why it's important to change their world and help reduce some of the damage that has been done to it.
