Carmen Colombo and John
McConnell in front of The Peace Bell at the
United Nations
in New York, on Earth Day 1999: March 20, 1999
John
McConnell, founder of International Earth Day ( www.earthsite.org ) and Carmen
Colombo, founder of WOW Zone www.wowzone.com
have agreed to combine
their efforts.
The combination of WOW
(Wish Only Well) thinking and Earth Trustee action can
defeat the hate, fear and violence that threatens
civilization.
Together, we are
spreading this vital message of keeping our world safe by
becoming an Earth Trustee and Wishing Only Well.
The first International
Earth Day was celebrated on March
21, 1970 in San Francisco, at the
precise moment of the Spring Equinox. Mr. McConnell
realized that the Spring Equinox is the most natural time
to celebrate the wonders of our precious planet and to
remind us that we are responsible for its survival. The
first day of spring, the only day in the year when day
and night are equal in length, symbolizes hope, rebirth
and renewal of our commitment to be Trustees of the
Earth.
International Earth Day
is endorsed by The United Nations. Every year the Peace
Bell is rung at the United Nations New York Headquarters
and around the world at the precise moment of the spring
equinox - March 20 or 21. John McConnell wrote The
Earth Magna Charta, a brilliant
document detailing ways in which we can be pro-active in
helping our planet, and the Earth
Day Proclamation, which is signed by
world leaders, astronauts, peace makers and celebrities.
Earth Day the most
significant day of the year, when people of all cultures,
ages, and creeds unite for a common cause: the care of our planet.

and how we're doing. Through the articles and links on
