I wanted to quickly share a few Earth Day articles with folks…some interesting food for thought here:
1. “This Earth Day, Let’s Scrape Off the Greenwash” by Sheldon Rampton of the Center for Media and Democracy
2. “Stop Waiting for ‘Leaders’ to Act on Global Warming, Greener energy in your community depends on strong grass roots” by Peter Asmus published in the Christian Science Monitor
3 “Is Earth Day Still Relevant 18 Years On? As Corporate Sponsors Mount, Some Activists Believe the Charity Strayed from Its Purpose” by Moira Welsh in the Toronto Star
4. “Quit recycling” by Ashley Braun at Grist (a funny one)
Did you see or hear about anything interesting this Earth Day?Post interesting earth day news in the comments…
Hey y’all – just to toss another one in the mix, I wrote my thesis on the first Earth Day in 1970. You can check it out here: http://www.earthday1970.org
