Today marks the second day of the annual Earth Week! We are now only five days away from Earth Day on April 22, a global celebration founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson, an environmentalist and senator of Wisconsin.
We should always try to chose environmentally friendly alternatives, but this week especially is a time to focus on greening our lives. It's a time to make new environmental commitments and plans of action. It's easy to get involved in the Earth Day celebrations, many communities have a garbage pick up event, or even local BBQs.
Regardless of your activities be sure to keep the day's message in mind, whether it's simply not using a straw with your drink, taking less time in the shower, or turning the lights off as you leave a room. A short video by yours truly of energy efficient ideas and info can be found at a link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGyfw2cSwTs
We can all make a difference, this Earth Day make it a positive one.
