Why We Care About Earth Day

We've got Gaylord Nelson (and hundreds like Rachel Carson and Aldo Leopold setting the stage way before 1970) to thank for getting together 40 years ago people in Washington, DC., to celebrate some of the achievements like clean water and air acts, wilderness designation, a stronger Environmental Protection Agency. Earth Day is a global day, and for us in the USA, we see this as the 40th Anniversary. The United Nations calls 2010 the 41st Earth Day. For youth, they are the Green Generation --way beyond labeling them the echo-, X-ers, Y-, Millennial-, Net- or i- generations. Green. As in reducing consumption, learning how to function with renewable energy, and reusing, recycling and relearning.

Last Chance to Save Earth?


President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation breaks down the facts about climate change and our responsibility to life on earth

Last Chance: Preserving Life on EarthLarry J. Schweiger, with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt IV

Denver, CO (6/25/2009) - Climate change is happening more rapidly than predicted, affecting every region of the United States and the world. To avoid passing on to future generations a fundamentally different planet than the one we have enjoyed, we must take action now to reduce the worst impacts of global warming.

In his book Last Chance, Larry J. Schweiger breaks down the science behind global climate change and takes us from Lake Erie to the icebergs of Greenland, and from Congress to America's classrooms and farmlands. He shares with us how the clean energy economy can provide the solutions we need to avert the worst consequences of global warming and he uses scientific facts and common sense to appeal to the minds and hearts of readers. Ultimately, Schweiger reminds us that we have the duty to think and act as the earth's caretakers, not just its inhabitants.
