Earth Day 2005

 

The Peace Bell at the United Nations in New York will ring at 7:33 a.m. EST -- the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the Southern Hemisphere. At the same moment (13:33 p.m., March 20, in Austria) the Peace Bell at the United Nations in Vienna will ring. 

It will be 12:33 p.m. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time also known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) -  which is based on the local standard time on the 0° longitude meridian which runs through Greenwich, England. For example, if it's 7:33 a.m. in Eastern Standard Time, it's 12:33 p.m.  in Greenwich England. There are 5 time zones between us.

Find your time zone and join in ONE global common moment celebrating life with dedication of heart and mind to think and act as responsible Earth Trustees.  We are one human family and have only one Earth. 

Peace and the care of Earth begins in the mind.  On Earth Day we can think, pray and plan what we will do to restore and renew the wonder of life on our planet.  A "New Day" when differences are forgotten as we share the wonder of nature's new life and new beginning.

Radio and TV are requested to provide live coverage of the United Nations ceremonies so we can all participate.

March Equinox -  Nature's moment of 
"global equipoise"

Earth Day is the First Day of Spring. 

It's also the New Year in many countries. 

It's the only day of the year when day and night are exactly equal in length.

Happy Earth Day, Happy Spring and Happy New Year!
