Today is Earth Day! And it is a day to celebrate the earth and its environment. Earth day was started 40 years ago to promote awareness for the environment and it is even more important to do that today then it was 40 years ago. Many people feel that the current economic climate makes it difficult to convince people of the importance of issues like global warming and oceanic pollution. And with the political sides so evenly matched on these issues, it is unclear whether any climate legislation will be able to make it through congress. An interview with Denis Hayes, the coordinator of the very first earth day, discusses these issues as well as many more.
On another note, Disney's Oceans was released today to the general public, giving people an awe inspiring view of the beauty of our oceans. As part of Disney's nature division, Oceans allows people to be more in touch with the wonders of oceanic ecosystems creating awareness of the amazing creatures we need to protect.
