Earth Day Tribute to Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson was a woman way ahead of her time.  She studied to become a marine biologist in the 20s, a time when women in science was not only unexpected, but scoffed at.  Her love of writing and of nature helped her create some of the most beautifuly written works about nature, including Under the Sea Wind and The Edge of the Sea.

What Carson is known for is her book, Silent Spring, in which she attacks the use of petrochemicals in farming and agriculture.  Published in 1962, this book still rings true today about caring for our environment and the adverse effects of using pesticides and fertilizers.  Any environmentalist should read her books, it will renew your love of nature and reinvigorate your resolve to protect the precious resource we have.

Have a happy Earth Day!

Title: Ben - Earth Song Michael Jackson tribute (Carmen Monarcha)

Tribute to Michael Jackson by André Rieu, performed at Maastricht Vrijthof in July 2009, featuring "Ben" (instrumental) and "Earth Song" (Carmen Monarcha). André Rieu speaks in German, despite the concert being in the Dutch city of Maastricht. This is because the German TV station ZDF commissioned this concert. The concert also exists with André Rieu speaking in Limburgs. This version of the concert was broadcast on Dutch TV (with Dutch subtitles!) in early September 2009, a month after the ZDF broadcast on German TV, and 7 weeks after the actual live performance.

At 0:33, there's a woman with her child (which seems quite content, but not overly enthusiastic), and at 8:03, the same child is enthusiastically waving her arms in reaction to the Maastricht children's choir waving theirs!

And doesn't the moving image at 1:42 prove that Michael is right when he says: It don't matter if you're black or white? We all are one human race and share the same emotions.

A translation of the German text is provided by way of annotations of the video (accessible via the arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the video if they don't show up.)
