http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/sel/exhibits/eday99.html
The Science and Engineering Library at SUNY-Buffalo presents this
fabulous page of resources in honor of the 31st anniversary of
Earth Day (April 22). The history section discusses the grassroots
beginnings of Earth Day in 1969 in San Francisco. Links to
environmentally-centered pages, such as World Watch Journal and the
Earth Day Project Library, are found in the Earth Day Internet
Resources section. Major US and international environmental
Websites like the World Health Organization's Programme on
Environmental Health, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the
National Library for the Environment, as well as links specific to
Earth day and the environment in New York State, such as
SUNY-Buffalo's special Love Canal online exhibit and the
Rochester-based Center for Environmental Information, are also
featured. Buffalo's Earth Day 2001 page was carefully compiled by
librarians, so it is a great place to come for top Earth Day
references.
