Earth Day is Every Day
You can thank Senator Gaylord Nelson for Earth Day. It was created in 1970 to bring greater awareness about this wonderful spinning ball that we all live on. Earth Day has also brought environmental concerns and causes to the forefront. Earth Day has been billed as the largest secular modern-day holiday in the world.
I can remember a time before recycling. We put out a lot more trash on trash day than we do now. I can remember paper drives at my elementary school where there were contests to see which class/grade could collect the most papers. My class won once and got a picnic out of it.
For me now recycling is just part of life and it will be part of my daughter's life. I think I will be the last generation who will remember a time before recycling. I think mine is also the last generation before the creation of the internet.
There is a lot we can do to help our planet. We all have to live here. Currently there are no other alternatives. I want to make sure that the planet is around for my children and grandchildren. And it is the little things that if everyone did, it would make a big difference. One thing I have been doing is refilling a water bottle rather than buying yet another one. I got this great 20 oz bottle that Rubbermaid made for which part of the profits go to breast cancer research so that's two causes at once!
What are you doing to help our planet?
I am grateful for this beloved mud-ball we live on.
