Articles about earth day 2013
Earth Day was born on April 22nd, 1970, when 20 million people across the United States took to the streets to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Today, it has transformed into a global movement, one that is observed by billions of people around the world who annually pledge to undertake a 'green' initiative set by the Earth Day Network (a consortium of 22,000 partners across 192 countries), to help our planet. With more than half of the world's population residing in urban areas and more inching their way in every day, it is only fitting that this and next year's focus is to create 'Green Cities' - help towns and cities become more sustainable by investing in renewable energy and reducing their carbon footprint.
