I was sent this link and a couple of earth events to share with you all.  I checked out the main link for earth day and was quite disapointed, each link had a counter for the amount of people who have registered and the numbers here in Ontario do seem extremely low, just for curiosity I checked out  London UK, and Perth Australia and the numbers are not much better.  Have I registered? no not yet, but I do usually do my part in my own neighbourhood.  I do encourage all those who are able to join in with an earth day event, start and register your own or at least spend a couple of hours with your own family to recognise our earth.
