Hallo dear children
This year IHTEC is encouraging children to celebrate Earth Day, in 2008 on Climate Change and Energy.
John McConnell, was the founder of Earth Day. Granny Julia has met Mr. McConnell, he is over 90 years old. The original date was March 21, 1970, on the Equinox each year, but as schools became involved the date was changed. The flag above is the original Earth Day flag.
