This Friday is World Environment Day and it's also the highly symbolic date set for the release of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's documentary "Home."
The movie is a collection of breathtaking unique aerial footage from over 50 countries, which will show the state of the planet in natural and urban areas with the goal of inciting people to act. "Home" is more than a documentary with a message, it's a magnificent movie, every breathtaking shot shows the Earth as we have never seen it before.

Spending family time outside is easy, fun, free and makes us more connected to our great world. A growing body of scientific research shows that kids who do spend time outside are happier, healthier and smarter. Even though this seems like a no-brainer, kids today are spending much less time outside than we did when we were children.
Nature Rocks, a great new campaign founded by the Children & Nature Network and ecoAmerica, aims to inspire parents to reconnect their families to nature.

Recycling is such an easy way to be eco-friendly. It saves our natural resources, reduces pollution and creates jobs! It's a great way to fight climate change every day.
But recycling practices differ worldwide.
Here are some examples of how the global recycling movement varies from country to country as it relates to both policy and profit:

Close to a billion people lack access to clean drinking water. We can help to lower that number this week by asking the U.S. Congress to pass the Water for the World Act.
The bipartisan legislation would make water and sanitation important pillars of America’s foreign policy in developing countries, with the target of providing 100 million people with first-time access to safe and sustainable drinking water and sanitation by 2015.
But with only five cosponsors, the bill isn’t receiving the attention needed for further congressional action. Please click here and sign the petition!

Plastic bags have become a serious pollution issue in recent decades. But we’re happy to see that many countries and cities are doing what they can to reduce the waste with new laws and bans in the works. Cities in the U.S. like San Francisco, Austin and Malibu are working hard to ban plastic bags.
China was facing its own massive plastic bag problem, often referred to as “white pollution." So in a step to drastically reduce the use of bags, the Chinese government passed a country-wide plastic bag ban in January 2008. The law specifically states that supermarkets and other sales outlets are prohibited from providing free plastic bags.

The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed comprehensive climate change legistlation today after months of contentious debate. Thanks to your calls and actions, the historic American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) will now be voted on by the Senate.
The Act will lead to millions of green jobs and place curbs on emissions that lead to global warming, passed by a vote of 219-212 after last-minute rallying for the bill by President Obama (see below), Repower America, Green for All, and others.
The legislation calls for the U.S. to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020.

After years of climate inaction -- China recently surpassed the U.S. as the world's largest emitter of CO2 -- the country is ramping up efforts to transition to a clean-energy economy.
The Chinese government announced a plan to produce 20 percent of it's energy from renewable sources by 2020 and is expected to spend billions on green technology as part of its economic stimulus package.
China is also working toward railway expansion, coal plant modernization, improving land use planning, and more.

The Climate and Energy Bill (formally the American Clean Energy and Security Act) may be voted on as soon as Friday in Washington.
This morning, Al Gore wrote:
"Make no mistake, this is the most important environmental vote of this generation. If passed this legislation will put us on the road to actually solving the climate crisis, in addition to building a green economy.
Contact your member of Congress and make sure they vote yes."

350.org has a great new video that really sums up their movement toward legislation in every corner of the globe in the fight for a fair climate treaty.
Hopefully this will inspire people to stand together as one planet, united by a common call to action and make it clear that the world desperately needs an international plan that coincidences with the latest science and help us move forward in a sustainable way, while protecting our precious environment.
Pass it around!

Until now, the latest and greatest way to sustainable energy was high-altitude wind turbines.
But multiple companies have made serious investments toward delivering solar energy from space within the next decade.
Major U.S. companies are aggressively researching the technology to beam the energy from one big satellite and then transmit the power back to Earth.

You do everything you can to make sure you and your child have a healthy home environment, but what about all day at school?
Summer break is an ideal time to approach school administrators about concerns regarding the healthiness of your child's learning environment, for example, what products are used to clean the school? Is there a greener way to do it?
Research shows a clear link between poor indoor air quality, sick students and teachers, and poor academic and occupational performance.

Sir Paul McCartney and his family launched a campaign urging people to reject meat and go vegetarian once a week to help combat climate change.
Together with his daughters Stella and Mary, his son James, and other A-list stars including Yoko Ono, Chris Martin, and Sheryl Crow, the former Beatle wants everyone to give up meat on Mondays.
The aim of the campaign, called Meat Free Monday, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the world's livestock population, thought to be a major cause of global warming.

The city of San Francisco just announced the passing of the toughest and most comprehensive recycling law in the U.S.
According to several studies, about 36% of what San Francisco sends to the landfills is compostable, and another 31 percent is recyclable.
Think of all that could be diverted from the landfills if we change our habits.
We think everyone should take note! Recycling is one of the best ways a person can make a difference in their community. The effort is relatively simple, generally supported by curbside pick up and can even be financially beneficial. Plus, it benefits the planet.
