I was up early this morning to check on my e-mails + do a bit of work online before me + the little man get ready for our activities for the day + guess what I first saw when my browser popped up? Lovely images, right? I got so curious about it, I clicked on the beautiful blooms as soon as I can + yes, it was indeed Earth Day today + Google put up those lovely flowers to get us all psyched to celebrate Mother Earth’s big day!
The Earth Day was proliferated by then U.S Senator Gaylord Nelson, who called for an environmental teach-in, or Earth Day, to be held on April 22, 1970, after witnessing how the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California ravaged nature. In 2009, The United Nations made April 22 the International Mother Earth Day. It is now coordinated globally by Earth Day Network + is celebrated in more than 175 countries worldwide.
So, what can you do to celebrate Earth Day? Here are a few thing off the top of my head:
- Post greetings on your social networking sites to help spread the word +, hopefully, get more people to participate in the celebration + eventually, in helping save our Mother Earth
- Raise awareness in younger children by asking them to do little things for our planet. This could include tasks like turning off the lights when not in use, or turning off the faucet to conserve water. You can also buy your kiddos earth-friendly stuffs + toys.
- Today is a perfect time to commune with nature, so go ahead + visit the nearby park or the zoo. Take your picnic baskets, if you please, + enjoy one fine day savoring the goodness of nature all around us.
- Practice what you preach by doing things to help save our planet on a daily basis. Make “reduce, reuse, recycle” your new matra, + I bet you will never go wrong.
- Remember that we can all do our share to help save Mother Earth, + if we can, we could all make everyday a happy…
