April 22 is Earth Day!

April 22 is Earth Day. It is the 40th anniversary. Why does this matter?
It should because this is your home; it's your family's, friends, pets home too. It's a place of beauty and amazing wonders. It's alive.
With all of the information that we have been receiving from scientists, naturalists, ecologists, and many more who care--this should be a day to be thankful for everything we have been able to enjoy that has been given to us by this magnificent planet. It's also a day that we should make a promise to start helping to clean it up and repair so many damages that we have done.
I don't know about you, but I hope that my children and their children are fortunate enough to continue to live here, breath clean air, drink clean water, and view the beauty that abounds on this planet.
Stop for a minute or two on this day, look around you and find something to appreciate.
