Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment.
In 2009, the United Nations General Assembly designated 22 April as International Mother Earth Day.
It recognizes that " the Earth and its ecosystems are our home " and that it is necessary to promote harmony with nature and the Earth.
The term " Mother Earth " is used because it reflects the interdependence that exists among human beings, other living species and the planet we all inhabit.
However, people seemed to prefer to use the term Earth Day, which is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.

Let us Support Earth Hour 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As human beings, we have been exploiting our beloved Earth for many centuries.
Like any other God's creation, the Earth has its limits, therefore it needs to take a break for a while. Due to this fact, let us join hundreds of millions of people around the world who will turn off their lights for at least one hour tonight from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm
Have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Earth Day 2010
Let us hope that Indonesia would make better efforts to maintain valuable things that we received from Mother Earth, such as Forests, Plants, Soil, Water, Natural Resources, Air, etc. by proper enforcement of relevant laws and regulations. That way, Indonesia would be a better place to live.
