Happy Earth Day

Today is the 35th Anniversary of Earth Day according to the EPA. Please visit the Earth Day Website.

This however, seems to be an Americanized version of the first Earth Day. Apparently, it's supposed to be the first day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox. The US missed that by about a month, but we in America, celebrate two Earth Days. The American version of Earth Day has been celebrated on April 22, since 1970, while the international Earth Day varies.

What can you do today to help? Decorate shopping bags, become an Earth Day trustee, clean up a beach, attend the Unplugged concert etc. Just look around, you'll be able to find something. What am I doing today? I haven't decided yet.
