June 19, 2010 will be the official Solar Day for this Earth. This is the second year of celebrating solar power and how "green" the power truly is. This date is chosen because it is the weekend closest to the summer solstice. This means that day has the most daylight hours and therefore more sun, if the clouds aren't out of course. The development of solar power has changed the face of energy dependency on fossil fuels. Solar, wind, thermal, and hydro are just a few other sources of energy that do not harmt he Earth directly. So when the Summer comes around the corner, think about what you can do to change the environment in a positive way, maybe even invest in solar power.
"Only when the last tree has been cut down,
Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."
— Cree Indian Prophecy
