Happy Earth Day

Tomorrow is Earth Day folks. It's hard to believe the first Earth Day in 1970 was 37 years ago. It seems like yesterday to me. For those of you too young to remember the first Earth Day (and for anyone who would like a refresher) you can read how it came about here. On the first Earth Day no one knew it would be come an annual event, but I'm glad it did. We need more awareness of our environment and the footprint we leave on it.

Of course Earth Day is popular with environmental activists and others seeking to change laws to protect our great planet. But change also takes each of us individually doing our part.
