Earth Day Celebrations

Since we all live on this planet, it is only right that we do our part to take care of it and try to pass it along to future generations in better shape than it was.  The first Earth Day was held 40 years ago on April 22nd, 1970 to promote environmental issues and call attention to protecting our environment.  Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson founded the day as an environmental teaching opportunity.  Nelson's idea caught on quickly.  Today, it's estimated that more than one billion people in 190 nations will mark Earth Day in one way or another. 
Make a special effort to use the recycle bins and do what you can to reduce your energy use today.  Other ways to get involved can be found at www.earthday.org
