The Earth Day Portal

Earth Day is a day set aside every year on April 22 as a day to honor the Earth, with numerous local, national and global activities happening. This portal is designed as a place for further information about the Earth Day practice.

We extend an open invitation for the AboutUs community to help contribute to this portal, perhaps in addition to your Earth Day activities to help build a robust resource for the community.

What Did You Do For Earth Day 2007?

What did you do to celebrate Earth Day in 2007? Please enter your experiences, thoughts and activities below:

  • I created this portal as a starting point for a communal "barn raising" on this important day. I'm also planning on taking a hike this Earth Day (as I do most years for Earth Day) and picking up litter along the trail, but also just as a way of communing and meditating on the phenomenal world around me. -- TakKendrick
  • Had very good Indian food for lunch (India-4-U, not much here in Portland, especially compared to SE Michigan). The cool thing was that I got the food in a biodegradable container, my first known exposure to these corn base products. The company supplying this food server is TrellisEarth.com. -- MarkDilley
  • I took a short bike ride in preparation for a long ride, that I am honestly not prepared for. It was wonderful to be outside doing my body good, enjoying fresh air and knowing that I was not putting anything noxious into the environment. Kasey
  • My mother died April 22 several years ago. I was surprised to walk out of Whole Foods and see a sign that it is also Earth Day. Spiritually I think that helps me feel that she still hovers around me. Carole
