Thanks, Shummy, for the links. :)

This is my favorite planet. Please don't destroy it.

Make Earth great again !

Amen and Amen. :)

"Celebrities were out in full force Saturday, in person and on the internet, to celebrate Earth Day and support marches in cities around the world. The March for Science is the latest in a series of organized events and grassroots protests that have arisen in the wake of the election of Donald Trump.

Marchers joined scientists and politicians across the globe to “champion robustly funded and publicly communicated science as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity,” according to the march’s mission statement. Organizers say the march is non-partisan, and support of climate change research is its primary purpose. However, all scientific causes and research-based inquiry are the focus of marchers around the world.

Bill Nye, public advocate for science and host of new Netflix show Bill Nye Saves the World, served as one of the unofficial ambassadors on the ground in Washington, D.C. advocating for “the progress of science and the useful arts of engineering.” Nye said at the march, “Science must shape policy. Science is universal. Science brings out the best in us” and added on Twitter that he’s “just trying to change the world.”

Happy earth day to you, amyjo!

I remember the first Earth Day in 1970. My folks told me it was a group of pot-smoking, liberal hippies, bent on overthrowing the government. It's great to know that during their later years, my parents began going green. Most reasonable people realize the fragile nature of our beloved planet.

Here's to our Earth and the everyday folks and scientists trying to make a difference by going green. Everyone, do the right thing--reduce your carbon footprint right now!

Happy Earth Day to everyone! I'm an aspiring environmental scientist (more specifically, I'd love to be a field biologist with a focus in herpetology!), and it's really great to see how public perspectives on environmentalism have shifted in a positive direction.
