Everyday is EARTH DAY!
"First in my prayer, before all other deities,
The Greek great earth mother."
~Aeschylus
So, as many of you know today/yesterday is/was Earth Day. Hopefully you helped out in some way or another. The reason I am getting this posted about an hour past Earth Day is because I had given up computer usage for Earth Day. Earth day is a day dedicated to help keep our lady Gaia (the earth) clean and healthy.
Today to help out with the wonders of being a good Samaritan, I helped my brother recycle plastic bags at the Giant Food Store, cleaned out some of my soda cans which will be later recycled. I kept off the computer till now, although others were using it. I did my best to help out in the small ways that should be done everyday. From now on I will make my everyday and Earth Day!
I have a question. Why is it so hard for some one to maybe turn off a few lights during the day? Or even limit them selves to how long they spend on the computer or watch TV? How come it is so difficult to recycle cans and bottles instead of sending them to the landfill? Why won't people help out but picking up their butts from smoking and putting them in a butt bucket or trashcan(after they are for sure out)? Why can't we turn the water off while brushing our teeth or take shorter showers? Also using cloth bags would help cut back on the waste of the plastic ones, or the plastic ones could be taken to be recycled. Things like this are so simple yet people don't notice how much it could help if done on a wide scale. I will admit it I am not 100% Eco-friendly but I try my darnedest to do things earth friendly. From now on I will do my best to GO GREEN!
HAPPY EARTH DAY!
