We need to make plans to recycle materials that are recyclable and to clean up<br \/>\nour rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. Pollution is causing danger to the air we breathe, our<br \/>\nsoil, and our water sources. Industries, automobiles, and others are releasing dangerous<br \/>\nsmoke in our atmosphere and the air we breathe. This can cause us health problems.<br \/>\nEach of us must do our part to recycle and reuse products instead of throwing them away.<br \/>\n<strong> Earth Day<\/strong> is now celebrated each year on <strong>April 22nd<\/strong>. Think about what you can do to celebrate <strong>Earth Day<\/strong> this year. We can all do something.<\/p>\n<p>The significance of the date:<\/p>\n<p>* <strong>April 22 <\/strong>is the birthday of American television star <strong>Eddie Albert<\/strong>, an early environmental activist.<br \/>\n* <strong>April 22<\/strong> is also the birthday of Julius Sterling Morton, the founder of <strong>Arbor Day<\/strong>, a national tree-planting holiday started in <strong>1872<\/strong>. Arbor Day became a legal holiday in <strong>Nebraska<\/strong> in 1885, to be permanently observed on <strong>April 22<\/strong>. According to the <strong>National Arbor Day Foundation<\/strong> &#8220;the most common day for the state observances is the last Friday in April . . . but a number of state <strong>Arbor Days<\/strong> are at other times to coincide with the best tree planting weather.&#8221; It has since been largely eclipsed by the more widely observed <strong>Earth Day<\/strong>, except in <strong>Nebraska<\/strong>, where it originated.<br \/>\n* <strong>April 22 1970<\/strong> was the 100th birthday of <strong>Vladmir Lenin<\/strong>. Time reported that some suspected the date was not a coincidence, but a clue that the event was &#8220;a Communist trick&#8221; &#8211; then quoted a member of the <strong>Daughters of the American Revolution<\/strong> complaining that, &#8220;Subversive elements plan to make American children live in an environment that is good for them.&#8221; <strong>J. Edgar Hoover<\/strong> may have found the <strong>Lenin<\/strong> connection intriguing. The idea that the date was chosen to celebrate <strong>Lenin<\/strong>&#8216;s centenary still persists in some quarters, although <strong>Lenin<\/strong> was never noted for his environmental credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Learn about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/earthday\/history.htm\" target=\"_blank\">history of Earth Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Facebook Like Button v1.9.6 BEGIN [http:\/\/blog.bottomlessinc.com] -->\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Ffulgerica.com%2Fen%2F2007%2F04%2F22%2Fcelebrate-earth-day-with-google%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height: 30px; align: left; margin: 2px 0px 2px 0px\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- Facebook Like Button END -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet Have you wondered why Google Logo is designed like this in this special day?
