Yesterday was EARTH DAY. I believe it may actually be EARTH WEEK?!
...In my opinion, it should be Earth Day EVERYDAY!
So you know me, on my photo kick, and now Earth Day crusade...... I am inspired by Earth Day, and what I saw at the beach yesterday. Anyway, I emailed the following to my local online newspaper. It may not get published/posted - but I feel quite strongly about this, and figured I'd share with you too. A blurb from my email:
As you probably know, yesterday was Earth Day. I took my daughter to the beach, Good Harbor beach to be exact. We went with good intentions of doing our share to pick up some beach trash, well the first thing was saw was this (see attached). I was appalled!
Why are there no trash bins at the entrances to this beach? During the summer season people are reminded (and know) to take their trash with them. But off season, no one seems to care? So, one person litters, and then others follow? It was a sad site to see, especially with the sign in the background, with it stating clearly: ”KEEP OUR HOME PORT CLEAN”.
I also am attaching a cropped picture of my daughter Jolie who is 5 years old. I want her to grow up in a perfect world. It is in our hands (get it, the earth ball she’s holding, in her hands) :o) It is up to us to make this earth a better place... for our children, and so on...
...it's in our hands now...
