It's hard to believe that another year has passed, and today is Earthday again. That's right, it's Earthday 2008! Earthday is one of those days that always makes us stop and wonder, what is this day all about?
We first visited Senator Gaylord Nelson's account -- he was the founder, so he it seemed like a good place to start.
We then took the opportunity to visit some of our favorite sites to find out what others were seeing, thinking and how they were honoring Earthday today.
Planet Green had a few links to last minute Earthday events, suggesting that people were getting together in many different local celebrations.
WorldChanging wrote a fantastic piece about how the tone of the day has shifted from facts and figures about pollution, to discussions about solutions spanning business practices, innovative technologies, and lifestyle behaviors.
In one of our favorites posts of the day, JetsonGreen gives a simple photographic homage to the earth, and announces that he'll be publishing material from his readers all week.
And finally, we enjoyed the Earthday at theme at Youtube (where one of ours was featured on the front door--thanks youtube!), which allowed us to watch the living web celebrate Earthday around the world.
Please come check out the Share section of our site, and tell us what Earthday means to you, and how you spent the day.
Happy Earthday everyone!
