This year Earth Day 2011 will be observed in greater numbers than any other time in our history. Many vitally important factors in our world are at the forefront of this years observance of earth day.

This is the first year that the largest car manufacturer in the world rolled out it’s earth friendly electric car as a viable production vehicle. General Motors has been working on this technology for over a decade and it is finally here and the market is ready for it.
More wind powered turbines have been shipped and installed as well, with GE leading the way with over 14,000 world wide supplying more than 20000 MW of power capacity.
And solar power is at an all time high with the worlds largest commercial Solar Power Plant coming to Arizona in 2011. Just about the same time frame as Earth Day 2011.
This year Earth Day will be celebrated all over the world, including a festival in California called Word Fest 2011.
