Earth Day: The History of A Movement

Earth Day: The History of A Movement

Earth Day: The History of A Movement

Each year, Earth Day — April 22 — marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Protest was the order of the day, but saving the planet was not the cause. War raged in Vietnam, and students nationwide increasingly opposed it.

At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. “Environment” was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. Although mainstream America remained oblivious to environmental concerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment for the modern environmental movement, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries and, up until that moment, more than any other person, Ms. Carson raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and public health.

Earth Day 1970 capitalized on the emerging consciousness, channeling the energy of the anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns front and center.

The idea came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, he realized that if he could infuse that energy with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair; and recruited Denis Hayes as national coordinator. Hayes built a national staff of 85 to promote events across the land.

As a result, on the 22nd of April, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. 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, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Earth Day 1970 achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons and labor leaders. The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. “It was a gamble,” Gaylord recalled, “but it worked.”

As 1990 approached, a group of environmental leaders asked Denis Hayes to organize another big campaign. This time, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting environmental issues onto the world stage. Earth Day 1990 gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide and helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. It also prompted President Bill Clinton to award Senator Nelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995) — the highest honor given to civilians in the United States — for his role as Earth Day founder.

As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focused on global warming and a push for clean energy. With 5,000 environmental groups in a record 184 countries reaching out to hundreds of millions of people, Earth Day 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990. It used the Internet to organize activists, but also featured a talking drum chain that traveled from village to village in Gabon, Africa, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Earth Day 2000 sent world leaders the loud and clear message that citizens around the world wanted quick and decisive action on clean energy.

Much like 1970, Earth Day 2010 came at a time of great challenge for the environmental community. Climate change deniers, well-funded oil lobbyists, reticent politicians, a disinterested public, and a divided environmental community all contributed to a strong narrative that overshadowed the cause of progress and change. In spite of the challenge, for its 40th anniversary, Earth Day Network reestablished Earth Day as a powerful focal point around which people could demonstrate their commitment. Earth Day Network brought 225,000 people to the National Mall for a Climate Rally, amassed 40 million environmental service actions toward its 2012 goal of A Billion Acts of Green®, launched an international, 1-million tree planting initiative with Avatar director James Cameron and tripled its online base to over 900,000 community members.

The fight for a clean environment continues in a climate of increasing urgency, as the ravages of climate change become more manifest every day. We invite you to be a part of Earth Day and help write many more victories and successes into our history. Discover energy you didn’t even know you had. Feel it rumble through the grassroots under your feet and the technology at your fingertips. Channel it into building a clean, healthy, diverse world for generations to come.

Today We Will Be Celebrating Earth Day, I know, I haven’t totally lost my mind yet (well….)

The reason we are celebrating Earth Day today is because tomorrow I have a lovely doctor’s appointment. I get to find out what method of treatment he has in mind for my hip and what days those treatments will take place and how many I will need(I know a run on sentence, can’t hush even when writing, lol!).That means we won’t be on the internet tomorrow, so why not celebrate our Mother Earth a day early. Really, we ought to celebrate Her more than just one day a year. Instead of one day a year, every day ought to be Earth Day. We ought to remember She is not only our Mother but it our job and responsibility to take care of Her every day. She gives us something special, life. Without Her, we couldn’t survive or exist on this planet. So one day a year, we show our dear Mother some love, I think it ought to be every day of the year but what do I know, I have already hung myself out on a limb this morning, lol!

Anyway, Happy Earth Day a day early!

Tomorrow, you can find your daily horoscopes, get a jump on tomorrow horoscopes, daily tarot card and daily rune on The WOTC’s store. Can’t miss them, scroll down the main page and you will find a spot that states, “Daily Horoscopes, Runes & Tarot.”

Witches of the Craft’s Online Shoppe

 

Wishing All Our Dear Brothers & Sisters of The Craft A Very Beautiful & Blessed Day!

Starting out a little different this morning, no fancy graphics or anything like that, just this. I woke up this morning at the crack of dawn to greet the Sun as usual. Oh my, He was shining so brightly and brilliantly over the tops of the trees. You could see His Rays extending for miles and miles it seemed like. It was breath-taking. Then it hit me, today is Easter for the Christian faith. Hmm, hadn’t really thought about it much and don’t know why it did hit me but when it did I started to chant. It is a chant I am sure you all know, “The Goddess is Alive and Magick is A Foot!” That is what has took me so long to get here this morning, I have been looking for it on YouTube and can’t find it anywhere. Just my luck, something I truly wanted to share with you today and can’t find it to save me. I did find a song that I am going to share with you and I believe you will enjoy it just as much, “I am Pagan and I am Proud!”

As I stood outside waiting for the Sun to fully rise, I did some reflecting. I know today is Easter and I know what it means to the Christian religion. But for most witches and myself, it doesn’t hold any meaning at all. I know we have Christians amongst us and I hope you have a very beautiful and blessed day. But since you are here with us, I would ask that you respect our beliefs on your special days as we respect yours. With that said back to my reflections, I heard the other day on the News that this year was the most disappointing year for mainstream religion yet. More people are leaving mainstream religion than ever before. Now where they are going they didn’t say but I have a feeling I know We have seen a huge increase in membership in the past year. We pick up to 5,000 new members each week. It makes me stop and wonder what has happened. Has our word finally gotten out? Do they now realize that we offer something more than other religions? Perhaps, perhaps not.

I know this morning while I was reflecting, I got to thinking about it. I was outside, listening to the birds sings, feeling the wind blow on my cheek and just enjoying all our Divine Mother has blessed us with. This great big beautiful world and such blessed and magickal lives. It is true the Witches are Blessed. On with my reflection, I got to thinking about what Easter really means for the Christian religion. Today is a day that Christ was suppose to rise from the grave and they celebrate his victory of life over death. We have nothing like that in our teachings or our beliefs. No where will you find it. Our Gods and Goddesses never died. There are still with us to this very day. They live on eternally, forever and ever. Our Gods and Goddesses are alive. We see them every  day in our lives, we use them in our rituals, they help us when we are in need. There is no denying they are very much alive and well to this very day.

I had someone yesterday at the grocery ask me if I was going to give my “Easter” speech kiddingly. I told them I didn’t think so this year. Oh, you ought to hear it, it is a something else. It is much too long and well let’s say, I am Pagan and a witch and leave it at that.

I think I have probably already said too much but today is just as special for us as it is the Christians. They celebrate a God risen from the death. We should be celebrating Gods and Goddesses that have never died and never will. They are with us continuously, forever and ever. They have made promises and promises kept. They have never asked to kill in their name and they have showed us unconditional love. They have showed us how to treat others as we would want to be treated. Most of all they give us the promise of rebirth. The opportunity for us to be reborn and reborn. A never ending cycle of life is what we are guaranteed. So while the world celebrates Easter, let us celebrate something even greater, our Gods and Goddesses. Let us give them honor and praise for fulfilling our lives and letting us see a world so few get to see let alone experience.

Let us give thanks to our Divine Mother & Almighty Father for this glorious Sunday morning!

Your Daily Tarot Cards for Saturday, April 20th

The Daily Tarot Card for April 20 is The Fool

The Fool

Keywords: open to possibilities, journey, quest (for something, to realize a dream, etc.)!

Astrological Correspondence: Uranus

The Fool is the card without a number. It usually is positioned at the beginning of the major arcana but can be either at the beginning or the end as it depicts our learning experience through life from beginning to end. The Fool signifies one’s potential and abilities. Embarking on his journey toward self-knowledge, the Fool is at the same time adventurous and fearful, seemingly open to all possibilities, yet apparently unaware of the dangers along the way. It is a card of pure adventure. Irrational impulses, foolishness, and poor judgment are some of the negative aspects of this card. At the end of his journey the Fool has learned life’s lessons and is aware of his place in the world and is at one with himself.

*********

The Daily Love Tarot Card for April 20 is Temperance

 

Temperance

The card says Romance with a capital ‘R,’ and it vibrates to a higher frequency. When it is real, you have no doubt someone loves you. It is why you love them so much. You are high on each other and the pursuit of happiness. Trust your instincts and wisdom. Resonate with confidence that attracts and holds the partner who looks for real substance and is sure they have found it in you

*********

The Tarot Power Card for April 20 is The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

You’ve denied a call to action that came from the most important person: yourself. As a result of pushing away parts of yourself that you don’t like, you may find yourself going around in circles or not making any progress at all. You’re not the victim here, as you have the power to release yourself at any time. Trust your gut feelings more, even if it doesn’t look good on paper. You have to address this sometime soon.

The Aries-Taurus Cusp

The Aries-Taurus Cusp

Discover the unwavering success of the Cusp of Power

 

By Tarot.com Staff
Aries, Astrology, Cusp, Taurus

If you’re born on the Aries-Taurus cusp, from April 17 to April 23, you are a firecracker and a force to be reckoned with! You were born on the Cusp of Power, so it’s no surprise that you’re authoritative, resilient, and dedicated to your passions and goals.

Born on this cusp, you are influenced by both active Mars and sensual Venus — the ruling planets of Aries and Taurus. Mars is a planet of motivation and drive, while Venus embodies the power of persuasion. Together, this combination of energy is an unstoppable mix that has you leading the way up the ladder of success!

Being born on the Cusp of Power blesses you with a great deal of strength and influence. You’re a natural born leader who’s destined for success at home and in the workplace. Others will continually turn to you for guidance and inspiration, so make sure to be kind when they do! You have a tendency to be quite forceful, and your strong opinions can sometimes rub others the wrong way. If you lead with a smile on your face, nothing will get in your way.

People born on the Aries-Taurus cusp are incredibly independent with a sassy sense of humor. You love spending time out and about with friends and family, but you don’t need others to support you. While this makes you a pretty exceptional individual, it can confuse your loved ones and sometimes drive them away. Make sure to tone down the harsh, blunt, or sarcastic comments when you’re around others who are more sensitive than you — which is practically everyone. Let your fun-loving, understanding side shine more often and watch your fans and followers grow.

If you’re born on the Cusp of Power, you know how to have a fun time while working your way to the top, and your outgoing social skills can get you anywhere. You have thick skin and can handle a lot, but try not to let your independence detach you from your loved ones — you need them more than you know! Practice patience and remember that kind leaders can do incredible things.

Strengths:

Strong, energetic, fun, smart, humorous, courageous

You have the energy and determination to climb mountains in both your professional life and your home and family life. You want to be the best and want to lead your team to success! You love to be out and about, and you play even harder than you work — if you can imagine that. You’re your own best friend and are strong enough to know that you’ll always be OK no matter what happens.

Weaknesses:

Stubborn, pushy, harsh, selfish, controlling

It’s very hard for you to let things go or let others do things that you know you could do better. You tend to get fired up about an opinion, idea, or project and then you dig in your heels and refuse to drop it. You like things done the best way possible, and you aren’t able to easily trust others to do your bidding. Sharing responsibilities is tough for you — almost as tough as it is to share your feelings and life! Your independence and freedom are important, but try to be sensitive to your friends and family and realize that their desires and opinions matter, too.

Compatibility:

You’re a tough one to pin down! You have your independent, wild ways and it takes a strong individual to make you commit. But when you’re ready to tie the knot and have a family of your own, you’ll do anything to make sure they’re happy and secure. Earth signs will understand your desire for success and will also be busy pushing themselves, allowing you to maintain a lot of your freedom. This hard-working romance will probably feel more like a partnership than a close or cuddly relationship. Air signs would also make great partners for you, because their detached nature means they will not be hurt by your strong opinions or your need for independence. They are also free-thinking and will have some strong opinions of their own, leading to a few passionate debates!

Advice:

Learn to let go and love more! Your initial reaction is to control the situation in front of you, which is part of what makes you a great leader, but work on handing over the reins once in a while — it will make you more likeable and improve your relationships. Pay attention and have patience with your friends and family. If you stop being so stubborn, you’ll learn how nice it is to be able to care for and share things with them.

Celebrities:

George Takei, Kourtney Kardashian, Kate Hudson, Conan O’Brien, Jack Nicholson, John Cena, Victoria Beckham

Born on April 20th, Happy Birthday Aries!

Happy belated birthday Pennysword..from Piedad

Happy Birthday, Aries!

 

IF YOU ARE BORN ON April 20, you are an Aries birthday individual who is capable of being very logical and considerate. In certain situations, you remain calm when other people would go nuts. That kind of collectiveness is certainly useful in management positions or while parenting.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to think with your heart sometimes instead of your brain. This can give people the impression that you are spacey or wishy-washy even.

The April 20th birthday personality seems to like the tranquility of peaceful and undisclosed settings. This Arian likes to take his or her time and tends to have a soft-spoken and pleasing disposition. You do not like massive crowds nor do you like to be hurried. Some may think that you are a little precarious or moody because of it.

Most of your friends love your warm and caring attitude but more so your imagination. You have always been a curious individual and like to be in control over your state of affairs.

However, there are times when you get a little depressed and feel out of sorts. Nothing, not even a day out with your favorite people would cure you. Treating yourself to a spa day or a picnic would change your mood in no time.

The 20th April birthday horoscope predicts that you are close to your friends and family. You are a valued loved one but there could be a lot of pressure associated with these relationships. Arians born today want to live by their own set of rules and may have developed other values than what was forced upon them as a child.

As an Aries born on this zodiac birthday, you love to be chased. This is unlike most other Arians. In a relationship you look for someone who is loyal, has emotional maturity, and who has compelling urges for momentary pleasures.

The April 20 birthday astrology rightly shows that you can be taxing, at times, persistent and controlling but you try to remain realistic. You give your word… people can count on it. You, as a rule, do not go around making impossible promises.

You who are born on this day have ambitions. With your mind set on living a worry-free lifestyle, you work on achieving financial goals. You know how to use the salary you were given to your advantage but you will accept the highest paid position offered.

Money management is one your best assets. You know when to buy and when to save. Some say that money is evil but you believe that not having enough makes people do desperate things.

The 20 April birthday meanings show that you need to have a balance between eating nutritious meals and fitness. Since you are usually active, you need to eat better food than what they serve at the drive-thru windows. Stay away from those tantalizing dessert trays and make regular appointments with all health care physicians.

Those of you born this day have careers that come with stress so be watchful of signs that something may be wrong. Working out or meditation will be useful tools to help with nervous tension. In addition, it will help maintain that youthful appearance you desire.

The 20th April birthday personality is said to live in their own world. You have the ability to stay calm during stressful times or crises. You have problems, however, staying away from junk foods. Your image is important to you, as you want to live the tranquil life of one who is respected and successful.

This Aries prefer the peaceful sounds of the country rather than the hustle and bustle of city life. If you were born on April 20, your birthday characteristics show that you are good with handling money.

You know how to save for rainy days, as you are no stranger to disappointment and setbacks. Aside from bouts with slight depression, you are in excellent mental health.

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of April 20th

David Wells, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Aries
Your soulmate is a misunderstood word, it literally means a mate of your soul, not ‘the one’ not ‘your other half’; a mate of your soul. Anyone who helps you along the way on a deeper level will qualify so why not start there? A helpful soul could be just the one you’re looking for mate. Venus agrees.

Taurus
As the Sun comes over the horizon and into your sign the focus is on you and yes, you’re another year older so that begs the question; what are you really doing about your love life? Uranus in your sign says shake it up T, by that he means outrageous behaviour for someone of your age. Fabulous.

Gemini
Is there any point? You’ll meet someone, fall head over heels, do the thing you do, fall into complacency, get bored, fall out of love, seek marriage counselling and start all over again. All right happy-head? Stop with the stories, start an adventure without a script. A free spirit is about to help you with that.

Cancer
There aren’t enough hours in the day for you to fit everything in, but you know who flutters his or her eyelids and suddenly you’re free. That’s all the clue you need Cancer. Who do you put first, who do you set others aside to spend time with? Still looking for something you’ve already found?

Leo
Love advice comes in many forms but there’s only one way to find out if any of it is going to work. Go on Leo, that blind date, dating site, courageous hello or foolish stumble may be all you need. Jupiter suggests a plethora of opportunities; Venus adds adventurous spirit. Make the most.

Virgo
As far as someone is concerned you’re hardly at the top of his or her list, sorry about that Virgo but isn’t it better to know than not? Harsh as it may seem, a mate lets you know the truth and that’s a great big favour as it drops the scales so you can see who is more than interested. Better deal ahead.

Libra
Surprisingly, you’re in demand! It’s no surprise to me or anyone else Libra, it may be to you but that’s because you’ve failed to notice the queue forming. You’ve been so busy doing goodness knows what, now things are quietening down you can concentrate on your love life once more.

Scorpio
At the start of the working week you’re likely to meet a new starter or two, a new face that could take you by surprise as you find yourself thinking about him or her a little more than you usually would. You’ve got a secret crush, how long before you make it public?

Sagittarius
There are those who’d call you irresponsible, call you reckless or call you foolish and you get to call them boring. Who are you and what have you done with Sagittarius? An air of devil may care, a touch of over the top activity could shock some but delight others, one in particular. New exploits from Venus.

Capricorn
You’re in one of your most persuasive times Capricorn, not only for your love life by the way, those dulcet tones of yours could persuade someone off the fence and into the garden for a sherry or two. The caveat is not to try too hard, allow space for the woo to happen Cap.

Aquarius
With Mars in your new love, true love sky you’re pretty much set for some action over the next few weeks. Yay! Before you set off the fireworks you should know that by action Mars means conversation. Light the blue touch paper with charm, wit and sparkling bonhomie.

Pisces
Venus is out of your sign and into making mischief elsewhere, so now you’re left with Neptune on his own. After weeks of flirting, hair flicking and smiling until your mouth hurts you’ve reached a point where someone should have emerged as the front runner. Run after them.
