Every Day Is Earth Day – A Time For Celebration And Action

Earth day should be every day!! Here in Montreal, this day is also referred to as Jour de la terre. John McConnell, an American newspaper publisher first proposed “Earth Day” at a UNESCO Conference on the Environment in 1969. , On March 21, 1970, the first Earth Day was observed, on the vernal equinox, the day on which night and day are of equal length around the world. The intention was for this day to serve as an annual reminder that all humans are stewards responsible for the condition of the planet. By April 22, 1970, a second Earth Day reared its head, one spearheaded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin. The latter of the two was so successful that the April 22 date stuck.

Earth Day Network is co-organizing, with the March for Science, the rally and teach-in event on the National Mall on Earth Day 2017. This year’s event and campaign will fight against efforts to silence science and focus on creating and supporting knowledge sharing, community engagement, citizen science and stewardship.

A Billion Acts of Green are happening across the planet. From students in classrooms to organizers in their communities to officials in government there are ways for anyone of any background to make a difference.

The American Museum of History created this cool short video on how has the world changed since the first Earth Day in 1970.

Meet the kids who are standing up to the U.S. Government, exercising their rights to inherit a healthy, sustainable planet inwhich to live! They’re speaking their truth and leading us by example.

Meet the kids suing the US government for ruining the earth for future generations
Over the course of one week in August 2015, Alex Loznak’s entire life changed. He left the Oregon farm that has been in his family for seven generations to attend Columbia University, and he sued the federal government for violating his constitutional rights.

“Exercising my ‘reasoned judgment,’ I have no doubt that the right to a climate system capable of sustaining human life is fundamental to a free and ordered society.” –U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken

Side note: The fact that a march is needed to protect the work of scientists from disappearing or being hidden is downright frightening. I have one question for Donald Trump, “what if you’re wrong about climate change? What’s at stake for us, our planet and future generations? Can you really afford to mess this up?

It’s time to put “Earth First”
