Today is Earth Day. It has been a 40 year journey of bringing awareness about environmental issues that affect our lives here on earth. It’s hard to live in an industrialized world and always remember to be earth friendly, but I think that it’s important to respect that which has given us the ability to thrive and live. We can’t just take from the earth and not give back. Even if you don’t believe in Global Warming, you can’t deny air pollution, landfill trash, and the draining of natural resources for human consumption. Let’s take a moment to reflect on some ways that we can respect the earth: (Energy efficient lighting, eliminating plastic water bottles, recycling, etc.). Celebrate Earth Day in some way…everyday.
