* This year, Earth Day 2010 will coincide with the World People’s Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and with the International Year of Biodiversity.

* A rally that is expected to attract tens of thousands of people will be held this weekend in Washington DC with speakers including James Cameron, the Titanic and Avatar director, The Rev Jessee Jackson while Sting will also sing,

* President Obama has urged people to write to him with their Earth Day stories while US politicians are expected to release their long-awaited climate change bill in four days time.

* Hollywood is producing 40 million pounds less trash as a result of the day while Peter Byck, a filmmaker, has produced a new film called “Carbon Nation” showing how people across America have successfully moved to a low carbon economy.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't aspire to kill the planet. But I would have a better opinion of mother nature at the moment if I still had my voice and my throat didn't go to hell. -.-

I love all those pics. So utterly beautiful! And does anyone else check the yearly National Geographic photography competition pics? Those ones are awesome too. I really wouldn't mind being a photographer. I always envy those people.

Ugh, I know how you feel. This weekend my immune system decided that it thought the weather was trying to kill me and reacted accordingly.

Allergies suck.

I'm in the pink of my health in summer. The sun takes care of me :D.
I got dehydrated once though. But that was because I didn't drink much water.
