Earth Day 2009

As stewards of our planet we are all expected to take care of it and do anything that we can to preserve it. There had been documentaries and films dedicated to the preservation and improvement of Mother Earth such as The Inconvenient Truth. In this film, we can see the slightly deterioration of our planet because of the slowly melting of ice caps. Our barren forests and dry lands are also proofs of global warming. The film encourages everyone to be more environmentally aware and to be more caring for our planet.

Earth Day 2009 is an organization whose main aim is to provide information to the public about global warming, its effect to nature and in human health. The organizers behind this created several programs and campaign that aims to be heard and followed throughout the world. With Earth Day, we have the chance to save our planet before its too late.

Earth Hour is an example of the many programs that Earth Day organizers came up with. Earth Hour is a way of reducing almost half of the worlds energy and electricity consumption. People around the world are actually invited to turn off their electricity for a whole 60 minutes. Of course, each country is given their own time frame to do this. This way, the whole world will highly benefit with the peoples dramatic participation against global warming.

Another solution and a very good one in preserving our planet is the advocate on creating green jobs for everyone. We have blue-collar and white-collar jobs but what is a green-collared job? Green collar jobs are those that pay adequately enough for the whole family and ones that preserve our environment. Examples of these are Solar Power plants. It is great to know that our industry presses to provide for millions of green collar jobs in the future.
