Earth Day!

Yes, my birthday is on Earth Day. One of the first really large celebrations was on my actual day of birth. My 21st birthday was when Disney opened Animal Kingdom. It's kind of a neat celebration, really. So, for my birthday today, go out and plant something. Recycle. Repurpose something that seems like junk. Choose natural products. Save a tree or an animal - my aunt rescued a blind dog, keeping her alive. Do something for some part of our Earth. Beca has been learning about it too - she likes to help with the recycling! And she said to me with the most pleading eyes the other day "But we need to save our Earth". Check out Wall-E if you haven't for a light-hearted look at the potentially serious issue. Maybe we can all green our lives just a little bit and help our Mother Earth be her very best.

I don't pretend to be a complete worshipper of our Earth but I try to do what I can in my realm of convenience. Even small steps are steps. But I am super excited that our big recycling bin from the Town of Cary will arrive sometime very soon! And there''s a lot more paper products and such that they can take now!
