“Earth Day” is a yearly event designed to spread awareness about our Earth’s environment and encourage “ALL OF US” to “TAKE ACTIONS”, as well. It was founded as an “environmental teach-in” on the 22nd of April 1970 by US Senator Gaylord Nelson.
In celebration for this, lots of “Earth Day Events” (such as conferences, free concerts and the like), are being held in different countries. Here in the Philippines, we also have lots of different events being held nationwide. Some of these are the listed below:
- NatGeo Earth Run 2010 — at SM Moa, Pasay City last 18th of April 2010
- Earth Run 2010 at The Fort — held in Global City, Taguig last 18th of April 2010

See?! That and a lot more events are being held in celebration of “Earth Day 2010” … those aren’t just for entertainment but also to raise awareness on what our Planet Earth is facing right now.
The events mentioned above are of course “NOT the SOLUTION” to the climate change we are facing nowadays. So, I think it would be “BEST” if we practice “EVERYDAY is EARTH DAY” by simple means of conserving energy starting in our home. ^_^
“HAPPY EARTH DAY TO Y’ALL” :)

Happy Earth Day to all! Yes Our mother earth should be taken care of. It is somewhat abused now and so these past few months we experienced calamities like flood, earthquakes and now El Niño. Let us be one with conserving energy and make this world a better place to live in. :)
