I just about fell off my chair when I read the latest right wing delusion.  Earth day is a Communist Plot.

Tell me again why I shouldn’t call them Nazis when communist or queer are their universal terms for anyone or anything they don’t like.

Though Earth Day still has its detractors, organizers expect more than a billion people to observe Earth Day today—a far cry from the movement’s grassroots beginnings in 1970.

And just this past Tuesday, the Washington, D.C.-based Earth Day Network—founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day—launched a new Facebook Web app to promote their Billion Acts of Green campaign. The project aims to generate a billion pledges of environmental service and advocacy before the Rio+20 Earth summit in Brazil from June 4 to 6, 2012.

Likewise, shortly after the first Earth Day, a Daughters of the American Revolution member lamented to Time magazine, “Subversive elements plan to make American children live in an environment that is good for them.”
