Today marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day, and today's profiled Web site is brought your way by the Wilderness Society. There's a "Teacher's Lounge," with ideas for K-12 projects; "Planetary Heroes;" a tour of the Arctic in pictures; and links to many wildlife sites, including the American Birding Association.
Former President Bill Clinton awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Gaylord Nelson 10 years ago for founding Earth Day.
Visitors to this site also might be interested in another site, the online environmental magazine Grist, which contains an essay by School of Law-Bloomington professor Rod Fischman titled "No Refuge Is an Island." It addresses the current debate over drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:
