On April 22, 1970, approximately 20 million people gathered together to increase public awareness about protecting and preserving the planet.  Forty years ago today, the first Earth Day was officially celebrated.  Since that day, we have made tremendous strides in caring for mother earth and making people aware ~ but there is still plenty of room for improvement.   Several things you could do to help ~ please consider recycling if you don’t already….eliminate the use of pesticides in your lawn or garden…..buy energy saving bulbs and appliances. We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors… we borrow it from our children. ~ David Brower ~
