EarthDay

(Just a quick note, for those new to Wiki editing, you can create sub-pages off of this one by using a leading "/" character in front of a Wiki:WikiWord to create pages that logically flow from this one. For example: /StaffPositions? creates a link to an as-yet-nonexistent page called "EarthDay/StaffPositions?", which keeps it logically grouped with the EarthDay project. Clicking on the "Page Index" link on the top/bottom of any wiki page will show the full list of pages in the wiki, and you'll see other ones with subpages, and how they group together. It also does other cool things, like automagically adding a link to the parent page in the header/footer of each subpage. As of this writing, that "EarthDay/StaffPositions?" page doesn't exist, yet, so it can be renamed as desired before creating it, and this long sentence may be deleted when it no longer applies. See the WhatIsAWiki and WikiEditingRules pages for details and specifics. --PatrickSalsbury)
