For a change, we have civil society and not the United Nations to thank for celebrating World Earth Day on April 22 every year, when activists around the world tell governments what needs to be done in the environmental field. Every vote in times of recession is somehow important, because even ecological projects have become its hostage. But the Earth is not waiting, sustainable measures should have been adopted yesterday. Too few people realize that we only borrowed the planet from our descendants and that it is not our property.
