Earth Day was celebrated by advocates yesterday April 22. It was an activity that commemorated people’s fight against global warming. It is also a special day where we begin to think and ponder on how we can care for our beloved planet. Thanks to Earth Day organizers, we are conscientiously reminded to be kind and not to be cruel to our surroundings. Because of Earth Day more people are becoming aware and more environmentally oriented.

Earth Hour is an example of the Earth Day campaign. It is a special one hour tribute of switching off the lights which will result to nationwide energy conservation if done simultaneously in one country. The Earth Hour is done to save on the country and the world’s energy and electricity resources. Earth Hour 2009 was participated by countries around the world and the effects are very inspiring. Earth Hour was a successful endeavor with several countries participating for it this year.

Green jobs are another advocacy of Earth Day campaigns. Green companies nowadays are employing more and more people to do green jobs for them. What is exactly a green job? A green job is a job that helps benefit our environment and our surroundings. Green companies range from solar panel manufacturers to no-gas/ water powered vehicle manufacturers. According to President Obama’s platform, there will be hundreds of green jobs/companies in the coming years.

Green artists’ response to Earth Day is to create recycled art or junk art. Harvey Whitcomb is an example of an American green artist that is successful at his craft. Judging from his website one can see that he had expertly used recycled items in making his artwork.

There is an Earth day Celebration in Stamford, Connecticut where everyone is encouraged to attend to know how to care for the Earth and be good stewards of our mother planet.
