World Environment DayToday, June fifth, is the United Nations Environmental Programme's World Environment Day. This year's host country is Norway (hey there, Dubya, too bad you didn't take a hop over, join the festivities!), appropriately enough, as this year's theme is "Melting Ice - a Hot Topic?" The website is full of information, well worth a lengthy visit. An interesting exercise in charting the progress of global climate change can be experienced by clicking on previous years' themes, back through thirty-three years. Also check out the photo gallery on the site. Lots of thoughts here, and I'll be back with some of them later. In the meantime, enjoy a ramble through these sites.| +Save/Share | | |
