I was amazed to learn that International Earth Day dates from the 1970's.
The message appears to be one of addressing issues of the environment and peace. I heard Barry McGuire sing The Eve of Destruction last night. As he said, this 1960's protest song is even more relevant today.
So too is the environment message. Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth seems to have brought the issue
to public attention, in a way that had not been achieved before.
Blog Action Day was a success with galvanizing awareness about the environment. This was a great example of the power of the blogosphere in spreading a message.
Blog Action Day was even picked up by the mainstream media. It showed the power of one and the power of many.
The power of one and the power of many is what International Earth Day is about too. For more information visit the International Earth Day site.
March seems to be a big month for special days. Leap year kicked us into March a day later than usual.
