April 22, 2013 Earth Day


We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb
Local Clean-up

   Happy Earth Day! This day was created in 1970 to celebrate the need for environmental awareness and to encourage all citizens to rally together to promote education and local activities. What a perfect day to don a light jacket and head outside to clean up the sides of the road. With garbage pickers in hand and bags blowing in the breeze, a small group of students, a colleague, and I spread out along the shoulder of the route in front of the school. It is incredible what junk one finds after the winter snow has disappeared.Our hour long effort was well worth the work; six bags of assorted trash was disposed in the dumpster! Kudos to all who celebrated this day honoring our planet!
