Happy Earth Day!


Today is Earth Day.

Begun nearly 40 years ago, Earth Day was envisioned as a celebration of the grassroots movement to address environmental concerns. As evidenced by global warming, increased reliance on “dirty” fuel and other pressing issues, this movement never caught on at the higher levels of government and business.

If you’re interested in doing something for the planet today, here is a link that details 10 tools for the best Earth Day ever. Here’s another that provides ideas for changes that could impact the environment. And here’s one more link from a guy who looks like a cross between Mick Jagger, one of the Hanson brothers from “Slap Shot” and Rick Moranis’s character from “Strange Brew.” Good times.

So read up on Earth Day. Think about any subtle changes you might be able to make. And set about doing a small bit in the hopes that your grandchildren might someday have a planet to put their arms around.
