While I agree with the groups of people that say Earth Day should be everyday, I also think it is a good day to get people back on track. Serves as a good reminder.
Anyone have any special plans or traditions for celebrating?

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
I love the concept of Earth Day but I just can't celebrate it. Remember in 1990 when they had a big reintroduction/anniversary celebration? A bunch of friends celebrated by climbing a mountain at Acadia National Park to see the sun rise, it was beautiful but we had a tragic accident in which my best friend fell off a cliff and died. It's terrible that I connect the two events inextricably. :(

Wow...I am so sorry to hear that. I understand that it was supposed to be a joyous event for you. To look at it from a different perspective, I think they did the ultimate thing and became one with the Earth on Earth Day...
I think I remember celebrating it by helping to plant trees when I was a kid in Chicago. I always liked Earth Day. Kids now don't even know what it's for.
