About My Earth Day 2010

President Obama is challenging citizens to make small changes in their everyday lives to help protect the environment. For this year’s Earth Day, 22 April, we’d like to see what YOU are doing to address climate change!

Add a photo to our group that shows an action you took to lessen the impact of climate change. Some examples: taking public transportation, planting a tree, switching to energy-efficient lightbulbs, and collecting rain water.

We'll include the best entries in a photo album on our Global Conversations: Climate Facebook page during the first week of May, and maybe even publish them in an upcoming feature on www.america.gov/

Submitting a photo to the group is as easy as sending an email. Really! All you have to do is email your photo to street54simple@photos.flickr.com. In the email subject line, write the title of your photo. In the body of the email, write the description of your photo. When you hit "Send" the photo will automatically be added to the My Earth Day 2010 group photo pool.
