Daily History - by Craig Hill

22 April – Earth Day

April 22nd 2008 06:26
Today marks the day where the world celebrates in remembering and loving our beloved home that we are staying on –Earth Day.

I almost forgotten about this until my high-school best friend sent me a really adorable email in how Singapore is promoting and encouraging its people to thread on the Earth lightly, especially today.

Earth Day is a name used for two different observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day, which was founded by John McConnell in 1969, each year on the March equinox, while a global observance originated by Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, and since January 1970 also called Earth Day, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22, including the U.S. (wikipedia)

So what would you do for our beloved Mother Earth today? Perhaps some quotes and suggestions (sent my by high-school best friend) might be helpful for you:

Go Green Be Mindfully Green This Earth Day

22 April is Earth Day; let us do our part to care for Earth and care for one another.
We are all interdependent, all living on this one and only Earth.
May all living beings big or small, be free from ill-willed, free from suffering?
May all living beings big or small, be well and happy and rejoice in happiness.

Compassion to the Earth is Compassion for All,
Treasure Our Resources; We Can Create a Better World.
