Thread: Earth day 2008!!!

Dude, its summer and its freaking cold where i live. I don't think that Global Warming causes the temperature to drop, does it?

I do agree with the 3Rs though, whatever helps to keep the planet clean gets my vote . Also, happy Earth Day to you too. d[^__^]b

To me personally...Earth Day is not a very big deal...of course like the other families I try my best to recycle and follow the EPA regulations.....but it just does not seem very important to me.....do not get me wrong...i am all for the clean earth and anti-global warming and things like that.....but maybe it is the fact that i do not see a lot of progress does not make me a very big believer....
The EPA has come far from the 1970:
1972 -EPA bans DDT, a cancer-causing pesticide, and requires extensive review of all pesticides.
In 1972, only 36 percent of the nation's assessed stream miles were safe for uses such as fishing and swimming: today, about 60 percent are safe for such uses.
To date, more than 18 million homes have been tested for radon. Approximately 575 lives are saved annually due to radon mitigation and radon-resistant new construction.
The number of chemicals listed in EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory nearly doubled, from 328 in 1990 to 644 in 1999.
Today, more than 80 percent of Americans protect their children from secondhand smoke exposure at home.
Today, the vast majority of American households have safe drinking water, and receive annual reports on the quality of their drinking water.
President George W. Bush proposes the Clean Air Rules of 2004 that will make people healthier now and in the future. The result is more protection—faster—which ensures that clean air will be this generation’s contribution to the next.

There is a lot more in store for the EPA and I am very grateful for all the contributions that they have and I am looking forward to what they have in store next for us and the environment.

Happy earth day to you all and I hope you all hug a tree naked

I agree with Earth Day because we should help the planet we live on! If that means I have to take a few minutes to throw something in the trash instead of the ground, then so be it! I feel as though we should do anything to protect our natural resourses and our atmosphere!

Well my school (the biology class in particular) is doing a thing where the school is going to participate in "cleaning up the school" and clean the trash around and in our school ^^

Yes i agree to it, but i am going to do anything to stop it? No i can't be bothered and i bet the other 3/4 of the world will feel the same, this is my at my truth point here so it could be easy for me to say yes i will not use electricty etc. cars... As if i am anyway! sorry but look at reality here, i'm just pointing it out, sorry

Well if we REALLY care, shouldn't EVERYDAY be Earth Day? however here is a quote my friend gave me. "Only once near destruction do we attempt to save her, yet Mother NAture only says 'it's too late.'"

That is my view.
