Earth day experience

Earth day was started by Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970. His goal was to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth in which we live on. It is the one day in which we encourage each other to take the effort to become aware of what's going on with our planet. The one day in which we encourage each other to make necessary changes to better nurture our planet. Like love, giving and unity, acts we SHOULD (big emphasis on the should) carry out every day, WE DON'T! So need a holiday to give us a gentle reminder. So I appreciate Earth Day solely because I know we as a people get so engorged in our own lives we forget to look around and take notice of what's really important, each other. So in celebration of this grand day I encourage, no not only encourage you but challenge you to not only love on the earth this day but make small changes in your life to show love to the earth every day. To those of you who partook in the Earth day festivities, well I want to know all about it. Did you hold a attend a rally that edcuated neighbors about what's going on with our earth? Did you encourage people to recycle? Did you encourage people to switch to reuseable bottles instead of plastic? Did you inform people of earth friendly home cleaning products like generation 7 or green works? Did you get a group of kids in you neighborhood and plant a tree or a garden? Their where so many things you could've done and I'm interested to know what that was! So fill me in on all the wonderful things you did to celebrate Earth Day...
