Site includes all you need to get involved including a participant map and how to connect. This is a great site for ideas in children's ministry. Help kids understand what is going on in the world around them and get them involved. Best yet, the site contains excellent links to their educational resources for children and the earth. The site is being continually updated.
Pilgrimages are a form of devotion that find expression in many different traditions.
We feel that pilgrimages can be adapted appropriately and creatively to express our concern for the environment and for future generations. Each community would select its own route, define its activities and determine the environmental concerns to raise and accomplishments to celebrate. Then, later in the day, all of the participants in the pilgrimages would come together to share their commitments and experiences in a celebration of the Earth at the new Nature Museum in Lincoln Park. Earth Day is always on April 22nd. Because of potential conflicts with various religious calendars, the proposal is that Earth Month 2000 Pilgrimages occur either on Sunday, April 9th or on Sunday, April 16th.
