  Kudos. The article has a lot of great information and resources. The one opinion I would add is that I understand that developing countries are concerned with their economies above all else, and consider worrying about emissions to be a luxury. Though, I wonder how much of a luxury they would consider it if they had hail the size of baseballs falling like it is now in Kansas, or the potential for crop damage from their local climate going awry.

  You must have been tired when you read my post because you misread it. Here again is the part of the post you were talking about:

  "Earth Day is not so much for those that are already in the Green or Environmental Movement, whatever you want to call it. Such people already have their set opinions. Earth Day is to make people more aware of the environment who ussually pay it no mind."

  -Have a productive day,

  Mr. Passacantando,

  A little calmness is in order. Earth Day is not so much for those that are already in the Green or Environmental Movement, whatever you want to call it. Such people already have their set opinions. Earth Day is to make people more aware of the environment who ussually pay it no mind. Such people have no idea who Pat Michaels is unless you tell them. I have never heard of him before you mentioned him.

  I have always been interested in all things related the environment, but only recently got serious enough about it to start my own environmental news and lifestyle blog, greenvitals.net, which focus on practical day-to-day thing people can do in their own lives to save money and be environmentally friendly.

  If you want to win people over to environmental causes, you don't do it by ranting. You show them why it's in their own best interest. Esspecially in tough economic times, you have to show people that something is good and healthy for them, while not costing them anything.
