On April 22, 1970, people across the country united to validate the importance of the environment and take action. Earth Day was initiated by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who said he was determined to "forcibly thrust the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into the political dialogue of the nation." He manifested the nation’s environmental cause through what started as a 'teach-in' to protest the government’s environmental ignorance. His accomplishment in the environmental arena eventually led to fundamental legislation, including the Environmental Policy Act (1969), the Clean Air Act (1970), the Clean Water Act (1977) and fuel efficiency standards for automobiles.\n\nFor over 30 years, on April 22nd, millions of people have united to heed this urgent call to action and celebrate the environment. Earth 911 has taken the mission of Earth Day and made it an everyday opportunity by offering information and resources available to protect the environment in every community in the United States and Canada. \n\n[For any more information on it, you can check my source below. Hopefully this helps you!]

"Earth" is the name the inhabitants of the third Solar planet call their world. This word is an ancient one, and is in English. All the logical paths that lead to a planet's name require the conclusion that no other planet could have this exact name.\n\n;-D Of course miracles happen every day! If some aliens like the name "Earth" then I won't stop them from calling their planet 'Earth!"

its God, but God entrusted to us this world, we are His stewards, managing His creatures. But sad to say that we are destroying our mother earth, and so we are reaping of what we have done to our nature and some people still blaming God for doing it so...we should make a way to preserve and conserve our nature for the next generation.

define sustainable....our society has been sustained for 200+ years on freedoms, enterprise and hard work.  if by sustainable you mean nature friendly that is a pipe dream created so that people will feel guilty for acheivement, be willing to modify behavior to suit the needs of a small minority that believe the world is controlable...these people need a good earth quake to make them understand that man is a very small effect on nature when she get's pissed off there is not alot we can do or have done to effect her.

International World Teachers' Day, which has been held annually on 5 October since 1994, commemorates teachers’ organisations worldwide. It's aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.\n\nAccording to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. Education International strongly believes that this Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that, on this anniversary date, the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.\n\nOver 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 348 member organisations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.\n\nTurkey\n\nNovember 24th is Teacher's Day (Turkish: Öğretmenler Günü) in Turkey.\n\nMalaysia\n\nMay 16th is Teacher's Day (Malay: Hari Guru) in Malaysia.\n\nIndia\n\nSeptember 5th is Teacher's Day in India. It is the birthday of former Indian president and teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the president of India in 1962, some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his birthday. In reply, Dr. Radhakrishnan said, "Instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' Day."\n\nThis is not a holiday in India. It is considered a "celebration" day, where teachers and students report to school as usual but the usual activities and classes are replaced by activities of celebration, thanking and remembrance. At some schools on this day, the responsibility of teaching is taken up by the senior students as an appreciation for their teachers.\n\nTraditionally, people in India have given tremendous respect and honor to teachers. An old Indian saying (usually taught to children), ranks teacher in the third place, even before God: "Maata, Pitha, Guru, Daivam", meaning Mother, Father and Teacher is God. There is another saying in the form of a couplet (doha), which goes, "Guru Govind doou khare kake lagon paai? Balihari guru aap ki Govind deeo batai," Meaning "I am in a fix whom to salute first: the teacher or the God. I shall choose the teacher as he is the one who is instrumental in my knowing God." Further, a central piece in Hindu scripture reads "Guru Bramha, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwaraha - Gurusakshath parabramha tasmai shree gurve namaha," which translates as "Teacher is the holy Trinity. Teacher is the manifestation of the lord himself."
