Earth Day!

I watched an interview last night of first time voters. They were young, passionate and articulate about their commitment to the Earth...they stated that their PRIORITY issue is climate change and the effects thereof on the entire planet and all its people

So I asked my son:"What do you think about the environment?"

Here is his answer: "I love it and I think we should take care of it and stop using big cars like Hummers and we should save electricity and take short showers." I loved that he had this consciousness and am thankful that the school he attends is eco-friendly and committed to a recycling program and on-going environmental education. There is so much we can do within our own lives to make a real difference to our planet's well being. Our children are the Earth's guardians. We can introduce regular projects to encourage action from our kids for example....Plant a tree week, clean up the beach week, save water week.Local National parks and many utilities companies have innovative conservation related educational materials.Make an Earth Day every week in your home!
