:iconearthplz: About Earth Day, And How It Relates To This Contest :iconearthplz:
Earth Day is a Global Holiday which began in 1970!
This year in 2014, this international celebration which aims to promote awareness, education, and action in order to help preserve and protect our Nature on Earth, falls on Tuesday, April 22nd!
Our Group has been expanding for over a year now, via several types of efforts, in an attempt to reflect that not only do we love and enjoy the beauty of Nature, but that we also care about protecting and preserving it, and would like to seek ways to join with others to do so, and learn about and create better ideas for this!
There are so many environmental issues, which do, in fact, adversely affect Earth, our common home.
Sometimes, it can seem over

I thought that I would submit a photo of pure, clear water. The picture was taken at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon in late afternoon. This is the deepest lake in the United States, and it's fresh water is famous for it's deep blue color and clarity. It rests in a caldera formed around 7,700 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama, and it is estimated that about 720 years was required to fill the lake to it's present depth. No outside streams flow into the lake. All water that enters the lake comes from direct precipitation in the form of snow and rain. Water is lost from evaporation or subsurface seepage. For some reason (probably subsurface seepage) the level of the lake remains fairly constant. The only way to reach the lake shore is Cleetwood Cove Trail, which is 1.1 miles long and drops nearly 700 feet. (One can buy a "I survived Cleetwood Cove Trail" shirt which states the trail is 1.1 miles in and 11 miles out) The National Park Service offers lake tours, using boats which were flown in by helicopter.
