    Hi Emma, thank you for this nice tribue to Earth Day. I'm told that Earth day in the U.K. is in June. But Happy Earth Day today also!!! Actually we should treat every day as Earth Day.

    I think back to when I was a kid and how MUCH the USA has done to be environmentally conscious. It seems like you give Kenya and India a nod ... I think they are some of the worst offenders?

    Yes, it IS everyone's problem, I agree.

      I wasn't really giving anyone a.nod, I just picked some countries and said what they were doing. I even included USA and Obama's call for people to look at what they can do locally.

      personally I think blaming the less developed world is a cop out, us developed nations have spent a hundred years or more wrecking the planet - including ransacking the poorer nations and we can't now turn round and say they're the ones to do something when they're only trying to keep body and soul together.

    Emma, you are so right. As an activist, every day is Earth Day to me, plus Health Care For All Day, House the Homeless Day, Pass Out Free Needles Day... on and on.

    I doubt the US will do much unless we all rally in Washington and get in their faces collectively. Congress is SO in bed with oil lobbyists... a shame, because my country is spoiling the entire earth. Peace (yes, anti-war activist, too!), Amy

      I'm right with you, things need to change and power seems to corrupt which means we're not getting anywhere fast.

    You're so right here, Emma, but one country you couldn't list is Canada, because our government is determined to build oil pipelines across virgin forests where wild and endangered species have their homes.
    My heart breaks.
