World Environment Day 2009

Today is World Environment Day! The UN established the day in 1972, as a way to give a human face to environmental issues, empower people to play a part in sustainable development, and promote understanding and awareness of the issues. 

The theme for WED 2009 is "Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change."

Visit the site for Daily do something Tips, to Twitter for Trees and to find ways to get involved.

And, of course, share with us your ideas and actions for helping to combat climate change. What steps will you take in your daily life? What's your advice to others? What's your plan for turning the not-so-green into more green-minded citizens? We're waiting to hear from you!
