Yep it's that time of the year again...
 QUOTE 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 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 nation’s environmental cause through what started as a 'teach-in' to protest the government’s 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. For over 30 years, on April 22nd, millions of people have united to heed this urgent call to action and celebrate the environment. Earth 911 has taken the mission of Earth Day and made it an everyday opportunity by offering information and resources available to protect the environment in every community in the United States and Canada.

I walked to school and walked home. Very tiring, but I know that my walking will help save the atmosphere!

Happy Earth Day everyone!! I remember when I was in Grade School, the teachers would have a whole big subject on Earth Day & give us info on it & stuff. I think that kind of thing should still be taught today considering how much the earth is being polluted.

my treehugging teachers told me.
some kid didnt have any notebook paper to take notes, so our teacher gave him recycled paper towels instead QUOTE "It may look silly, but you are saving trees from an unfortunate death!"

Grr. I typed this once, and my computer messed up. Now I have to type it again...
Yeah, My teacher told us about it (While he was lecturing about the history of paper) *I think it was just a change of subject to keep us awake* |
