One of our friends in the USA recently emailed us about the 35th anniversary of the first Earth Day. No one seems to recognise this day in Australia (or those that I spoke to)...It seems that the Bush Administration is focused on achieving meaningful results – cleaner air and water, and healthier lands and wildlife habitats.
We think it's a day of action all Nations can adopt; looking at these photos recently taken in Tasmania, it certainly wouldn't hurt.On the positive side we're told, the nation's air is much cleaner today than it was 35 years ago and progress will continue, the trend of annual loss of wetlands has been reversed, and restoration and redevelopment of abandoned industrial sites is accelerating.
Lets celebrate Earth Day every day... to stop images like this appearing.
