Earth Day 2012: Mobilize The Earth
Take Action for a Sustainable Future.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day
Earth Day is a day early each year on which events are held worldwide
to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural
environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day
Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. In
2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother
Earth Day. Earth Day is planned for April 22 in all years at least
through 2015.
The name and concept of Earth Day was allegedly pioneered by John
McConnell in 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco. Earth Day
was first observed on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the
northern hemisphere. This day of nature's equipoise was later
sanctioned in a Proclamation signed by Secretary General U Thant at
the United Nations where it is observed each year. About the same time
a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord
Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970.
While this April 22 Earth Day was focused on the United States, an
organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national
coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized
events in 141 nations. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an
entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.
