Earth Day 2010



Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in held on April 22, 1970. Earth Day Network, a group that wishes to become the coordinator of Earth Day globally, asserts that Earth Day is now observed on April 22 on virtually every country on Earth.

Happy Earth Day Everyone! We can all do our part to help preserve the Earth and make it an enjoyable place to exist. There are many thing we can do on a daily basis to contribute to the preservation of our planet. We are big recyclers in our family. We have differnet bins in our kitchen that we use to collect items to be recycled. We teach our kids about littering and why we shoudn't do it. I was proud of Spencer a whie back when he asked if he could cut the rings on the plastic from a 6 pack of soda we had finished so that no sea creature would be in danger of being caught in it. Matt is also an avid walker, bike rider, UTA user. Besides not wanting to spend the money on fuel, he is conscientious about the amount of driving he does. Those are just a few things we do to contribute, now what can you do?!
