Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:39:31 -0000

Video clip of Al Gore talking about global warming and going green on the Oprah show-April 22, 2008. Lots of great resources including a Green Checklist, organizations working to help the environment and a message board to share your story. Also has tips for getting laws changed.

Comments:

Now we know why Al Gore was too busy to come on Earthcast08. :-) He was on the Oprah show! This site actually has some great resources for "going green" including suggestions for taking action and working to change laws. posted by pgeorge

A song for Earth Day
It’s Earth Day! It’s a day to celebrate the Earth.

Earth Day 2008 ~ Just A Geeky Girl

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:01:32 -0000

Earth Day 2008 by Melissa on April 21, 2008 ("Just a Geeky Girl")
With Earth Day fast approaching what ways are you helping to “save the planet?” This year I was part of Earth Hour by shutting off the lights and electronics in my home for more than an hour that evening. Along with that, I’m doing my part by conserving energy and water, recycling, and using more “earth friendly” products...

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Singer shines light on sanitation

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 06:50:15 -0000

A Mozambican musician who campaigns for clean water and sanitation has been awarded a top environmental prize, described as the Nobel Prize of grassroots environmentalism. Modestly, Santos said the $150,000 (£75,000) prize money would not change his life but it would help focus attention on what was happening on the ground in Mozambique and Africa. "It shows that even if you live in poor places, such as Niassa, you can have an influence on the world. "Let's not talk about the money, let's do things that can change the world. Don't think about awards, think about quality of life. (song is not on the page)

Comments:

Great story about how each committed person can make a difference. Wish the song were available on the site so we could hear it. posted by pgeorge
