do we celebrate that we still have Earth to call home or do we comisserate that we are killing Earth with our pollutants?

The ex used to celebrate earth day each weekend when after the family's traditional trip to some fast food drive thru, he would try and make a basket into the trashcan from too far a distance (didn't want to get out of the car), inevitably miss, and call out: "Happy Earth Day!!!!" at the top of his lungs before squealing out of the parking lot. Damn, I miss him.

"Minute for Peace," December 22, 2007
On December 22, just three days before Christmas, 1963, the first "Minute for Peace" was broadcast on radio and TV stations. This came one month after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Wire services featured the "Minute for Peace" in news stories that went around the world. The broadcast included the voice of President Kennedy addressing the United Nations with an urgent plea for peace, and asked each listener to dedicate his thoughts and action to peace.
On June 26, 1965, the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the United Nations charter, a "Minute for Peace" message featuring UN Secretary General U Thant was broadcast on all major U.S. radio networks, by United Nations radio, by networks in other countries, and by international short wave radio.
Since then, all over the globe, we who have pledged ourselves as Earth Trustees have taken a minute each December 22 to meditate and pray for peace. Again this year we ask you to join us in this effort to help bring peace.
Can a "Minute for Peace" become a minute of goodwill observed in unison around the world? Will it irresistibly move the leaders of men into paths of peace? Will the hearts and minds of people in all countries be touched by the Holy Spirit with the peace and love that bring men into the Kingdom of God? What has happened so far seemed utterly impossible at first. Who knows what may happen if we put our faith to work and use the power of the Spirit to solve the problem of the sword?
On December 22, 2007, join with Earth Trustees all over the world in dedicating your hearts during a "Minute for Peace." Let every radio and TV station fill the day with minutes of music and words that inspire peaceful actions. Help us unite as one human family in new understanding and care for this wonderful nest in the stars: Planet Earth, our home.
Let us know your plans for "Minute for Peace Day" so that we may publicize them here.

It's about celebrating the trees that all the streets are named after.

I always assume that it is a day that we acknowledge the Earth as an environment.
