    Can anyone give me any information regarding EARTHDAY 1990 that is
    being held this year in Washington, DC?
    
    Since I live down here now, you'd think I would know or hear something
    about it but I haven't so ....
    
    Thanks in advance!

962.2Earth Day 1990AXIS::ALLANThu Feb 22 1990 13:1021
    Earth Day 1990, a worldwide, non-centralized celebration, will be
    held on April 22, which is the 20th anniversay of the first Earth
    Day.  Earth Day is intended to mark the beginning of a long-term
    commitment to building a safe and sustainable planet.  Governments,
    environmental groups, broadcast and print media, community groups
    and corporations will be planning activities that will encourage
    individual participation and commitment to improving and protecting
    our environment.  Digital will use the occasion of Earth Day to
    reaffirm its commitment to excellence in the area of environment,
    health and safety.  In conjunction with Earth Day, "Earth Vision"
    posters detailing the seven tenets of environmental, health and
    safety excellence will be sent to each U.S. site.  In addition,
    each U.S. employee will receive, at home, a brochure containing
    the full worldwide EH&S policy.  Managers are asked to encourage
    and support their employees' participation in various site Earth
    Day activities.
    
    Hope this information is what you were looking for.

962.3Mt. Everest Earth Day International Peace ClimbVINO::BOBBITTthe warmer side of cool...Mon Apr 09 1990 13:4717
    Other events are happening around the world on Earth Day.  This spring,
    on the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, climbers form the United States,
    China, and the Soviet Union have converged on Mount Everest.  The goal
    of the "Peace Climb" is to place a team consisting of one climber from
    each participating nation on the summit of the world.
    
    Led by Jim Whittaker, the Earth Day 20 International Peace Climb
    emphasizes a commitment to world peace and environmental preservation. 
    The climb will affirm that unity, teamwork and cooperation among
    nations are the keys to building a safer Earth for future generations.
    
    In the spirit of "leaving only footprints" behind, the climbers will
    spend two weeks after the summit attempt removing gear and debris left
    by previous expeditions.
