Earth Day was duly celebrated yesterday, April 22. It was an activity that commemorated people's fight against global warming. Thanks to Earth Day committees and organizers, now the whole world is much aware on the effects that improper care for our planet can bring. Because of Earth Day more and 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 for Earth Day is by creating Recycled Art or Junk Art. How is this done? Artists make use of everyday materials or second hand materials in lieu of the art materials they were very accustomed to. An example of a green artist and his recycled art is Harvey Whitcomb and his mosaic looking crushed CD's on frame. Judging from Whitcomb's website, this green artist sure made excellent use of an everyday material to transform to a marvelous work of art.
There will be an Earth day Celebration in Stamford, Connecticut where everyone is encouraged to attend to know how to care for the Earth and be very good and caring stewards of our mother planet.
