It has been 40 years after the first Earth Day was kicked off. But things do not seem to have turned much for the better over these 40 years or so. The climate change has become the biggest challenge of our times as global temperatures rise by the year. As the global ice caps melt it is true that the waters of oceans will also rise and make sure that so many low lying areas get inundated. The Earth Day is one of the ways in which we reiterate our commitment to saving the environment and making a different to how we live such that we are more responsible in our actions. The Earth Day 2010 is supposed to be a kind of turning point to bring about change for the better.

There is so much to be done in terms of energy efficiency, sustainable and renewable energy as well as green jobs. So much remains to be done and Earth Day is one way to take the challenge head on and make an appreciable difference. But all of this needs a commitment as well as a need for concerted action. Unless people get serious about this, it would be tough to make a difference on the ground.
