>January 2002 Update
>Earth Day 2002: Protect Our Home
>
>Join us this Earth Day in a call to Protect Our Home, the Earth! We have
>only one planet and we must work together to protect and sustain it.
>
>All over the world this coming April, people will take part in rallies,
>clean-ups, Earth Fairs and public forums. Thousands of worldwide Earth
>Day events will send a loud and clear message that our common home is
>precious, perishable, and belongs to all of us.
>
>Looking Back, Looking Forward: 2002 marks the 10th anniversary of the Rio
>Earth Summit, a historic gathering of world leaders that addressed
>pressing global environmental concerns. 2002 is also the 30th Anniversary
>of the Clean Water Act, landmark legislation that was a vital first step
>in the long road to restoring and preserving our water sources. These
>anniversaries offer important milestones for assessing how far we have
>come. Yet much work remains to be done to preserve the natural systems
>that sustain life.
>
>Looking for Organizing Ideas? Check out the newly revised "How To"
>resource section at our website, at http://www.earthday.net/howto. You
>will find information on how to organize an Earth Day event, how to work
>effectively with volunteers, raise funds, and obtain media coverage for
>your efforts. You will also find lots of event ideas and inspiring
>examples of how worldwide network members have celebrated Earth Day in
>past years.

>Earth Day plans, go to our on-line Events Calendar at

>A Call to World Leaders: In August-September 2002, the World Summit on
>Sustainable Development will convene in Johannesburg, a 10-year follow-up
>to the Rio Earth Summit. EDN invites organizations and individuals to
>sign a letter urging world leaders to attend the World Summit on
>Sustainable Development in August and implement a strong plan of action
>for their country and the world. The World Summit is a unique opportunity
>for us to come together as a world community and address our global
>problems. Yet without widespread attendance and participation, the summit
>has little chance of success. To sign the letter on-line, or to learn
>more about the World Summit, see http://www.earthday.net/goals/worldsummit.stm.
>
>
>Thank you for all your hard work during 2001. With your help, 2002 can be
>a landmark year for environmental protection and education. Earth Day
>offers a unique opportunity to join with other concerned citizens around
>the world who are working toward a sustainable future. Every individual
>action to "Protect Our Home" makes a difference, and when they are
>combined, we have a global movement to sustain our planet.
