I've always been a huge fan of Earth Day. When I moved to NYC in summer of 1990, I really hadn't known there was an Earth Day, but come April 1991, there were signs and ads regarding the South Street Seaport weekend celebration. I headed on over with some friends and while it wasn't a huge party like some events in NYC are, it has certainly gained in popularity. I've always been a recycler (and drove my parents crazy when I'd be rinsing out bottles, jars, and cans and they would say "just throw it in the regular garbage", but I just couldn't bring myself to do that). I try to do my part to conserve and I'm going to teach Ryan the same. She already knows teh separate garbage cans and the 'turn off the lights' - 'shut off the water'. I hope she continues to be a green girl!
Wishing everyone a Happy Earth Day - I'd love to hear if you did something different today in honor or what you normally do......Anyone??
I didn't do anything special for Earth Day, I don't think there was an event here for it. I am sitting in the dark! I don't think that matters haha!
ReplyDeleteThat's cute about Ryan! I'm sure she will be a green girl
I didn't turn the TV on until 3pm... that's all I did, but I hope it helps.

ReplyDeleteHappy Earth Day, I so feel you on the recycling. We even sent out a mass email to friends and family asking that all childrens gifts not consist of lot of plastic parts. They take too long to biodegrade and the kids can't possibly play with all of them. I suggested books, Music, instruments, Outdoor play items like soccer balls, volleyballs...etc.
C-ya!
