Founded in 1969-70 by John McConnell, EarthDay corresponds with the Vernal Equinox every year. and is celebrated world wide. Today, the Earth Flag that he designed, utilizing one of the earliest photos of earth from space, will be flown at the United Nations, and the tradition of the ringing of the United Nations Peace Bell at the moment of the Vernal Equinox will take place.
The Official Earth Day this year begins at 8:07ET 20 March 2007 / 12:07 UTC 21 March 2007
Take that moment to contemplate the words he wrote in 1995:
“Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure.”
and join in the world wide celebration.

Note however the growing resistance to the moronic war on terra. It won’t be sudden and of course the Constitution won’t be restored. The spying, data mining and constant intrusions and every increasing government in you face will not cease.
Now, I’m not saying that we should not be good stewards of the enviornment. As such I can’t endorse Earth Day. It’s kind of a radical reactionary stance in light of big Al’s CO2 global warming lies.
Think about it, they are asking you to give up modern life because they showed you a movie.
