World Environment Day

Today, 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.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
