Earth Day was celebrated by advocates yesterday April 22. It was an activity that commemorated people's fight against global warming. It is also a special day where we begin to think and ponder on how we can care for our beloved planet. Thanks to Earth Day organizers, we are conscientiously reminded to be kind and not to be cruel to our surroundings. Because of Earth Day more people are becoming aware and more environmentally oriented.
Earth Hour is a part of the Earth Day campaign. It is a widely publicized event in the whole world since it requires all the country in the world to turn off their lights for one whole hour. The Earth Hour is done to save on the country and the world's energy and electricity resources. It was first experimented in Sydney, Australia were it turned out to be a huge success. Earth Hour was a successful endeavor with several countries participating for it this year.
Green jobs are another advocacy of Earth Day campaigns. Green companies nowadays are employing more and more people to do green jobs for them. What is exactly a green job? A green job is a job that helps benefit our environment and our surroundings. Green companies range from solar panel manufacturers to no-gas/ water powered vehicle manufacturers. According to President Obama's platform, there will be hundreds of green jobs/companies in the coming years.
Green artists' response for Earth Day is by creating Recycled Art or Junk Art. How is this done? Artists make use of everyday materials or second hand materials in lieu of the art materials they were very accustomed to. An example of a green artist and his recycled art is Harvey Whitcomb and his mosaic looking crushed CD's on frame. Judging from Whitcomb's website, this green artist sure made excellent use of an everyday material to transform to a marvelous work of art.
