Ian Bourne has information on the Bridgetown Film Festival, the April 22nd Earth Day Beach Clean-up and the earlier CARE beach clean-up sponsored by the United States Embassy.
Maybe Ian can also tell us why Earth Day is always held on Lenin’s birthday? Always a bit of irony seeing the USA sponsoring an event on a Communist holy day!
Head on over to Bajan Reporter and see if Ian knows why Earth Day is always held on Lenin’s birthday. 
Penalites need to be raised on driving on Barbados’ beaches too. As you can see with the decrease in leatherback turtles in the Caribbean Jellyfish populations Especially the Man-O-War type are exploding. Car/truck tires easily crush turtle eggs in the sand. And without turtles you have Jellyfish able to expand their population with no turtles to eat them.
I had no idea Lenin’s B’day coincided – probably some private irony with a blacklisted person from the MacCarthy 50′s, but you better check my Blog again, there are other hot items, especially if you rinse after brushing – truly!

Hi Ian
Earth Day actually started on the 100th anniversary of Lenin’s birth. Check it out on Wikipedia – there is quite a story about the whys and maybes!
We thought we would tease you a bit. All in fun between friends, of course!

I should imagine it was selected for the same reason They decided to plunk “Jesus’ birthday” right down on top of that Pagan feast day on December 25th.
Must’ve pixxed-off the Druids no end!
(Jesus was born sometime in late Sept./early Oct.,but for ‘political’ reasons Dec.25th. was selected)
