DYK (Did You Know)- Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment and it was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970.
Each year this day serves as a reminder for me to think green. It provides an opportunity to look at what we have done throughout the year to be environmentally responsible. From an IT perspective this means things like turning off lights when leaving the sever room, buying energy efficient equipment, removing and recycling unused hardware, etc. Today I saw a simple comment on twitter (#earthday) that caught my attention:
“Wake up Tweeps! EVERY day should be earth day.”
It was not a new or original idea, but it had an effect. So I would like to figure out a way to celebrate Earth Day that would have a year-round impact. I am interested in any ideas that would help in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. (Please leave them in the comments-thx)
PS: Check out another event that you might not have heard of that is growing each year Earth Hour. On March 28, 2009 hundreds of millions of people in over 4,000 cities and towns and 88 countries VOTED EARTH.
What are you doing for Earth Day?
