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.
