Earth Day Photos

Want to share what you've got cooking for Earth Day 2009 with the Earth911.com community? By posting a photo on Flickr and using the right tags, you can easily put your stuff on our site. Post photos of whatever you want about Earth Day, such as: recycling events, the stuff you want to clean up, the stuff you did clean up, activities you did for Earth Day or eco-centric activities you do in your everyday life. The options are limitless.

1. Take a picture

Take your photos and download them from your camera to your computer.

2. Get a Flickr account

Ever used Flickr before? If so, skip to Step 3. If not, read on:

  1. Go to Flickr.com to sign up.
  2. Click the “Create Your Account” button to get started. If you have a Yahoo! ID, you’ll use it to sign in. If not, you’ll need to create one. Don’t worry, it only takes a few minutes.

Step 3. Upload your photos to your Flickr account

Ok, here’s the important part: once your photo is uploaded, you need to properly tag it for it to appear on our site.

  • If you want your photo to appear on the general Earth911.com Earth Day site, tag it with “earthdaypledge”.
  • If you want it to also appear on a corresponding pledge page, then tag it either “garbage”, “recycle” or “compost”.

So, a photo that is about a compost pledge would be tagged “earthdaypledge compost”. On Flickr, tags are separated by spaces, not commas.

Oops, I didn’t mean to upload that photo!
That’s ok! Simply go to your Flickr account and remove the “earthdaypledge” tag

Step 4. You’re done!

Sit back, relax, and watch for your photos* on our Earth Day 2009 Channel!
