    Interesting history, indeed. From Wikipedia:

    "..at the height of its power the Soviet Union established a nationwide subbotnik to be celebrated on Lenin's birthday, April 22, which had been proclaimed a national holiday celebrating communism by Nikita Khrushchev in 1955."

    I believe I'll pass on this particular event.

    Huh? I don't think that has anything to do with Earth Day- it just coincidentally falls on the same date. This has nothing to do with Lenin, communism, or the Soviet Union, and everything to do with the one planet we all live on.

    Terry Gilliam warned us about international communism a long time ago.

    Really!?! And this got likes?

    1) This has nothing in the world to do with the thread.
    2) It is not 1967.

    I got my start at FLARC in the late 60's.
    It was a flourishing group with great mentors and wonderful projects.
    There was always something for everyone there.

    Best wishes to all past and present members.

    I agree with you 100%. Sadly, there is a large faction of folks who believe anything having to do with "environmentalists" or the environment, or addressing climate change must must must be some left-wing conspiracy designed to brainwash our children into accepting socialism, communism or any number is "isms" and therefore they discount and ignore anything having to do with anything that doesn't fit their myopic,. often misinformed, opinion.

    'Murica!!!!!
