Earth Day is the largest, most celebrated environmental event worldwide. Environmental challenges surround us as our actions pollute and often harm the fragile environment that humans and wildlife depend on to survive.
Earth Day is an annual event that provides the opportunity for positive actions and results and aims to inspire awareness of and appreciation for our environment. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the vernal (March) equinox. ***A global observance in many countries is held each year on April 22.

UN Cancun Summit -December 2010




"Business as usual cannot be tolerated, for it would condemn millions - no, billions - of children, women and men around the world to shrinking horizons and smaller futures."

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned delegates they must be prepared to compromise rather than searching for the deal that they ideally wanted.

"We cannot have the perfect be the enemy of the good," he said.

But greed, selfishness and special interests will result in nothing being done. The Earth may need Alien Intervention to solve this one!
