Celebrate Earth Day

It’s the Only Planet We Have (for Now)

It’s Earth Day.  Time to celebrate our home planet — and learn to respect it, revere it, and appreciate it for what it means to us.  You can be of any belief system, gender, culture, class, or species — it doesn’t matter to Earth. What matters to Earth is how we treat it.  So, celebrate Earth Day — go for a walk, look at a blade of grass or a tree or the clouds in your sky or the animals in your area.  If you’re stuck indoors, look out a window. Log in to a web cam (try OpenTopia or WebCam Central) and visit places around the world. We’re all of, by, and for the Earth.
