Earth Day 2013: Stand Up for Your Planet

Here are my favorites for best place to get more information on our trip around the web on Earth Day 2013.  The first stop is National Geographic. Look at some of the best pictures taken of our planet, Take an Earth Day Quiz, learn about its history and see some great green buildings.

This building is partly powered by algae. Yes, algae.

Here is a link to 5Gyres -  5gyres.org  They are studying plastic garbage patches in 5 different gyres including: Gyres in the Indian Ocean, North Atlantic, North Pacific, South Atlantic and South Pacific.

The next stop is the Nature Conservancy.          
Figure out your Carbon Footprint.

The Earthday Network where you can learn about earth day and contribute to their wall of climate change where people are sharing stories of how climate change has affected them.

Even the EPA has a special website with information and activities. EPA

How are you spending your Earth Day this year and how will you affect your own change today? Make the world a better place than what it was for you and future generations will be able to enjoy some of what we get to enjoy everyday.
