DID YOU KNOW?   Arbor Day dates back to 1872 when it was founded by J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, Nebraska. On April 10, 1872, the first Arbor Day was held and an estimated 1 million trees were planted. Arbor Day became a global event in 1883 when Birdsey Northrop of Connecticut visited Japan and delivered his Arbor Day and Village Improvement message. The American Forestry Association made Northrop the chairman of the committee to campaign for Arbor Day across the United States. He also spread the campaign to Europe, Canada and Australia.

action alert! A cross river gorilla was brutally killed just outside a proposed wildlife sanctuary. Cameroon needs to act now to prevent another tragedy. Protect Cross River Gorillas please share it helps!     Dear Arfin, A cross river gorilla -- one of the most endangered subspecies on earth -- was found dead just outside the border of a proposed wildlife sanctuary in Cameroon. According to reports, the poor animal was beaten with stones and clubbed before he was shot 45 times. Demand Cameroon speed up designating the wildlife sanctuary to prevent another tragedy! The killing of this gorilla isn't a random act. It was sanctioned by the Chief of the Gendarmerie Brigade, ostensibly in the name of "self-defense." But that raises the question: how much danger were people in if they could torture the animal before it died? It's time for the government to act. Tell Cameroon to designate safe areas now and work with conservation groups on sensitization with nearby communities. Thank you for taking action, Emily V. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

Tell Obama to Reject the Keystone XL! The U.S. State Department has released their revised report on the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline -- and it downplays the overall effect of the tar sands on our climate. In the weeks since the report came out, there have been two tar sands spills in the United States, including one that poured 84,000 gallons of tar sands into Arkansas backyards. With stakes this high, there is no excuse for the White House to approve Keystone XL. Join us and submit your public comment in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline! Take Action Today! Hi Arfin, Send your Care2 Earth Day eCards today! DID YOU KNOW?   Senator Gaylord Nelson chose April 22 as the designated date for Earth day in order to maximize participation on college campuses for what he conceived as an "environmental teach-in." He determined the week of April 19-25 was the best bet; it did not fall during exams or spring breaks, did not conflict with religious holidays such as Easter or Passover, and was late enough in spring to have decent weather. More students were likely to be in class, and there would be less competition with other mid-week events. Send an Earth Day eCard »
