I recently read " Will someone please give Earth Day a makeover? In an age when every disease gets it's own holiday, the occasion deserves more than aging rock stars concerts and newspaper ads. This is the 40 anniversary of Earth Day !!! Four decades since a toxic coastal oil spill, prompted Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson to declare April 22 a day to celebrate the Earth !!!"
A lively discussion topic, don't you think??
Does Earth Day matter? The short answer only if you want it to!
Ideas to share, please. Besides Shop differently, think before you toss, really think....start a backyard garden, recycle. What???
A famous song "Make a Change"... so be the change you want to see.....www.Phoenixfarm.biz... madgardener #697

I think the "change" we all need to make is both in our hearts and our minds. We have to stop thinking of the Earth as "third rock from the sun" and start realizing that this is our home--the only place we know of in the Universe that can support human life. even if we're here for a short time in the grand scheme of things--shouldn't we make this the best life possible for all? And that means clean air, fresh water, enough food for everyone. I think that's the way God intended it so why not live it while we're here? Not just on Earth day, but everyday.

I am going for my badge that requires me to go completely green with my cleaning supplies. I have started making my own but, have not gotten rid of all the cleaning supplies that I was using before. I am making a commitment to get rid of them.
