地球日的英文

4月22日是“世界地球日”。讓我們用智慧淨化生存環境。下面是小編整理的關於地球日的英文，希望大家喜歡。

20xx年4月22日是第42個世界地球日，今年的主題是“珍惜地球資源，轉變發展方式”。環保組織在地球日官網上發起了一個名爲“十億個綠色行動”的宣傳活動，鼓勵人們多采用綠色環保的生活方式，比如：將家中的燈泡換成節能燈、少用殺蟲劑等。該活動發言人表示，數百萬人小小的努力加在一起就會有很大的改觀。自1970年設立地球日以來，環保組織已經促成了《清潔空氣法》、《淨水法案》以及《瀕危物種法》等法律的頒佈。今年，在地球日的發源地美國以及192個其他國家，環保組織都會舉辦遊行、工作坊等各類活動宣傳綠色理念。

If the environmental movement has a high holiday, Earth Day is it.

The annual effort to raise public awareness about the environment and inspire actions to clean it up marks its 41st anniversary on Friday, coinciding with the Christian Good Friday and Judaism's celebration of Passover.

In an effort dubbed "A Billion Acts of Green," organizers are encouraging people to observe Earth Day 20xx by pledging online at to do something small but sustainable in their own lives to improve the planet's health -- from switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs to reducing the use of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

"Millions of people doing small, individual acts can add up to real change," said Chad Chitwood, a spokesman for the umbrella group coordinating efforts.

There will be hundreds of rallies, workshops and other events around the United States, where Earth Day was born, and hundreds more overseas, where it is now celebrated in 192 countries.

In the United States the activities range from the premiere of the new film from the director of "Who Killed the Electric Car?" (it's called "Revenge of the Electric Car") at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York to a discussion about creating a green economy in 12 cities along the Gulf Coast, where this time last year residents were reeling from the effects of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

In the years since the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 the environmentalist movement made great strides with passage of the Cllean Air Act, Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and other groundbreaking laws.

But the bipartisanship that marked the birth of Earth Day -- it was sponsored in Congress by a Wisconsin Democrat named Gaylord Nelson and a California Republican named Pete McCloskey -- is often missing in discussions about environmental policy today.

Efforts to fight climate change by regulating greenhouse gases, for instance, face fierce resistance from many Republicans and members of the business community, who dispute the science supporting global warming and warn new rules to regulate emissions will kill jobs and raise energy costs.
