Earth day can be every day for our Beloved Earth. Once a year we celebrate 'Earth Day' and some of us forget all about taking care of our home. Things are changing, though, aren't they?

I recently saw a program about some incredibly upsetting and intriguing information about dolphins. I saw this and just couldn't believe that such terrible things go on as I busy myself with my everyday routine. If you haven't seen 'The Cove,' it is certainly time. Maybe you've seen it all, and maybe you're already steeped in outraged, activist documentaries. But you haven't seen anything quite like The Cove, unless you can visualize a disturbing combination of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Free Willy, and the killing of Bambi's mother. The Cove is directed by the experienced National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, who sets about to uncover a shocking (but regular) ritual on the Japanese coast. Please take a look!

It is now all the rage in the Age of Al Gore and Obama, but can you remember when everyone in America was not Going Green ? Visually stunning, vastly entertaining and awe-inspiring, Earth Days looks back to the dawn and development of the modern environmental movement from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson s incendiary bestseller Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration and the subsequent firestorm of political action.
