This photo of "Earthrise" taken by Apollo 8 astronaut, William A. Anders, December 24, 1968, showed Earth for the first time as it appears from deep space. It gave a new global perspective to the modern environmental movement which was born on that first Earth Day in 1970. Nature photographer Galen Rowell has described this image as "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken".
Earth Day started out as a secular event but more and more the religious communities are using it to mark awareness of the environment and God's creation. With Earth Day falling on a Sunday this year it allows for even more emphasis in churches everywhere.
