Earth Day 2008

Today is Earth Day. I am happy to see that this year Earth Day appears to be a little more mainstream. I can remember a time, not that long ago, when the day would come to pass without much notice. More than ever, it is really important for each and every person to join in the efforts of conservation and environmental protection. On the History Channel there is a documentary about the world's oil supply. According to researchers, the peak oil production has probably already been reached. So it's downhill from here. Some estimates predict a critical world oil shortage in as soon as 15-40 years. Just take a look at gas prices right now. What happens to the price of gas as demand increases and supply dwindles? The same can be said of all of our natural resources. Today is Earth Day but people should not be stirred in to a frenzy, however it is time for environmental issues and awareness to become a focus in our every day lives. If we don't do it for ourselves, then we should do it for our posterity. Have a safe and happy Earth Day.
Here is a great Earth Day Website; be sure to sign the petition.
