from the dawn of time. The energy from the sun fuels all life on Earth. The potential energy extracted from humans and animals forms the foundations on which our society has been built. The electrical and mechanical energy generated from natural resources such as fossil fuels, water, and steam have opened numerous avenues within industry, transportation and livelihoods. As science and technology progress and energy sources increase in efficiency and capacity so too do the limits of our capabilities. <br><br> However, just as energy has the potential to instigate development it can also act as one of the greatest barriers. While the poor can most benefit from improved access to energy sources, they are also the most likely to suffer from the effects of unsustainable energy use such as climate change, deforestation, adverse health impacts and desertification. <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090519112724/http://earthtrends.wri.org/updates/node/339" < p></div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090519112724/http://earthtrends.wri.org/updates/node/339">read more</a></div></div><div class="node"><h2><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090519112724/http://earthtrends.wri.org/updates/node/338">Happy Earth Day</a></h2><div class="nodeinfo">April 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm EDT</div><div class="node"><p><p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090519112724im_/http://earthtrends.wri.org/images/earth_nasa.jpg" alt="Earth from space" align="left" hspace="8" vspace="1"> April 22nd, better known as Earth Day, is a perfect opportunity to bring the environment to the forefront and review some of the key global changes and trends impacting the world.
