2010年4月22日是第41个世界地球日。遍及世界各地的纪念活动再度引起各界对于环境问题的高度关注。肇始于美国的“世界地球日”活动已经走过不惑之年的今天，作为全人类乃至现有地球上所有生命共有的“家”，地球环境所面临的危机依旧非常严重。一系列的问题不但制约着人类的发展，而且已经成为了人类自身的生存危机。

我们希望2010年世界地球日能成为世界改善气候政策、提高能效、推进可再生能源的利用以及推广绿色就业的转折点。我国从20世纪90年代起，每年4月22日都举办世界地球日活动，今年我国更确立了“珍惜地球资源，转变发展方式，倡导低碳生活”的地球日活动主题。而对于我们每个人而言，仅在“世界地球日”这一天有所表示显然也是不够的，它更依赖于我们每个人将保护环境、珍惜资源的理念渗透在日常的一举一动当中，让低碳节俭的生活成为我们的习惯。

Earth Day

[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ *2'A}@NvhUL;9Z=yFroG]

Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by US Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970. Earth Day is celebrated in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Many communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. The first Earth Week originated in Philadelphia in 1970 (starting April 16 and culminating on Earth Day, April 22.)Earth Day Network, a group that wishes to become the coordinator of Earth Day globally, asserts that Earth Day is now observed on April 22 on virtually every country on Earth. World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5 in a different nation every year, is the principal United Nations environmental observance.

The first Earth Day

[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ fO1776V T!&fu5%]VFroG]

On April 22 1970, Earth Day marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Approximately 20 million Americans participated. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, Freeway and expressway revolts, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

The Earth Day Name

[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ Co /+Yd#cffC/FroG]

According to Senator Nelson, the moniker "Earth Day" was "an obvious and logical name" suggested by "a number of people" in the fall of 1969, including, he writes, both "a friend of mine who had been in the field of public relations" and "a New York advertising executive," Julian Koenig. Koenig was on Nelson's organizing committee in 1969. April 22 also happened to be Koenig's birthday, and as "Earth Day" rhymed with "birthday," the idea came to him easily, he said. Other names circulated during preparations—Nelson himself continued to call it the National Environment Teach-In, but press coverage of the event was "practically unanimous" in its use of "Earth Day," so the name stuck.

According to Flags of the World, the Ecology Flag was created by cartoonist Ron Cobb, published on November 7, 1969, in the Los Angeles Free Press, then placed in the public domain. The symbol is a combination of the letters "E" and "O" taken from the words "Environment" and "Organism," respectively. The flag is patterned after the United States' flag, with thirteen alternating-green-and-whites stripes. Its canton is green with a yellow theta. Later flags used either a theta, because of its historic use as a warning symbol. Petrus de Dacia in a document from 1291 relates the idea that theta was used to brand criminals as empty ciphers, and the branding rod was affixed to the crossbar spanning the circle, or the peace symbol. Theta would later become associated with Earth Day.

This symbolic creation has an association with renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead. Dr. Mead carried what she called "the flag for all people" with her wherever she appeared from 1969 until her death in 1977.
