The 40th anniversary of Earth Day is coming up. (April 22nd 2010) Though it seems far away, several people are getting excited and many events have been planned. Some believe it has potential to be a turning point to advance climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green jobs.
Although I think that it is slightly naive to think that one day could be a turning point of decades of bad habits, I do think all the planned events could increase awareness and promote better habits. Although climate change has presented us with a great challenge, I think it could also be seen as an opportunity for us to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy. Although it will take a lot of time and several billions of dollars, I think it is needed, and beneficial.

Awww this cartoon is kind of sad. I really hope that the number of polar bears will become stable or at least not decrease as much because of global warming. It seems that there has been many news for improvements around the world for changes in order to help the planet and save energy!
I dont think that this one day is a turn point for all the harm we have caused the environment. however, i believe that this day is more of a reminder that we need to take care of our planet.
