Community Voices: Earth Day Feedback On Earth Day, we asked what you would do to celebrate the day, and Drew sent us a message that was truly inspirational.  I’m a 41-year-old man with a traumatic brain injury.  Celebrating nature is an everyday experience for me, and it should be for all of us.  I like to recycle and read Ranger Rick magazine.  Even though it’s set up as a children’s magazine, I believe everybody can kearn from Ranger Rick.  Nature rocks! Your friend, Drew

Monday is Earth Day. 

In celebration of our world this weekend, journey to the Redwoods and experience the magnificence of nature. 
Setting the Stage for the Launch of Earth Day (from Earth Day Network):

Although mainstream America remained oblivious to environmental concerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962.  The book represented a watershed moment for the modern environmental movement, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries and, up until that moment, more than any other person, Ms. Carson raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and public health.

Earth Day 1970 capitalized on the emerging consciousness, channeling the energy of the anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns front and center.
