Celebrate Earth Day

Tomorrow is Earth Day 2005, and 35 years since the first Earth Day celebration. The original instigator, now known by the more sedate term founder, was Denis Hayes, who has, I'm happy to say, written this about The Armchair Environmentalist.

"Environmentalism involves the application of ecological values to human life--including each of our individual lives. This opportunity for personal action is uncommon in social movements. There is little for most of us to do on a personal level to end war, combat nuclear proliferation, or prevent torture. But, The Armchair Environmentalist demonstrates how we can enrich our lives, have fun, and save money while dramatically reducing our ecological footprint."

Here are a few of the Earth Day events around the United States where The Armchair Environmentalist is being featured or raffled:
