Website Appearance Updated In Conjuntion With Earth Day

Hi fellow readers, by now you've probably realised that I've made a few changes to the site. I've changed the background colour to green as part of the "Go Green!" campaignes going on around the world right now. in addition, the header image which i have just completed yesteday night exhibit's the earth's natural beauty, and in contrast a few pictures of pollution that threatens to destroy this beauty. i hope the new image gives a stronger WOW! factor than the previous ones, and i'd love to hear your comments about it. The reason i'm doing all this is because Earth Day is coming coon and i thought the site could use a little bit of rejuvinating as well!

A bit about Earth Day

Each year, the April 22 Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Founded by the organizers of the first April 22 Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect change in local, national, and global policies. Earth Day Network’s international network reaches over 17,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program engages 5,000 groups and over 25,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year.

Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in Earth Day Network campaigns every year.
