Overview of Earth Day 2009

We are all stewards of our planet. We are expected to care for it and nurture it in any way possible. Our planet is the only place we were given to live in. Our planets future and our childrens future lie on our hands. We must act now against the rising issue of global warming and do what we can in order to have a safer and greener environment. The movie: The Inconvenient Truth is a warning and a plain reminder for us about what is happening to the world now. The movie shows earths melting ice caps and increasing barren forests. It is a clear reminder that we should act now before its too late.

Earth Day 2009 is a worldwide event with programs that benefit our mother earth. All countries around the world are expected to participate as Earth Day organizers are scattered worldwide to increase public awareness to fight Global warming and other environmental issues. Earth Day is a chance for everyone to stop and think of our planets welfare 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.

There is a growing rise of creating green-collar jobs in our society. What is a green collar job exactly? A green collar job is one with a decent pay that can support a family and something that can benefit the environment. It is heartwarming and a very great feeling to know that our industry is looking forward to creating millions of green collar jobs in the near future. It is a win-win situation where there is less unemployment and greener, healthier surroundings.
