We are all stewards of our planet. We are expected to care for it and nurture it in any way possible. Our planet is the only place we were given to live in. Our planets future and our childrens future lie on our hands. We must act now against the rising issue of global warming and do what we can in order to have a safer and greener environment. The movie: The Inconvenient Truth is a warning and a plain reminder for us about what is happening to the world now. The movie shows earths melting ice caps and increasing barren forests. It is a clear reminder that we should act now before its too late.
Earth Day 2009 is an organization whose main aim is to provide information to the public about global warming, its effect to nature and in human health. The organizers behind this created several programs and campaign that aims to be heard and followed throughout the world. With Earth Day, we have the chance to save our planet before its too late.
Earth Hour is a program of Earth Day that aims to lessen and save the worlds energy and electricity reserves. Earth Hour asks us to shut down our electricity for one whole minute. All the countries around the world are expected to participate in this campaign. Of course, each country has its own time slot in participating in earth hour.
There is a growing rise of creating green-collar jobs in our society. What is a green collar job exactly? A green collar job is one with a decent pay that can support a family and something that can benefit the environment. It is heartwarming and a very great feeling to know that our industry is looking forward to creating millions of green collar jobs in the near future. It is a win-win situation where there is less unemployment and greener, healthier surroundings.
