Yesterday Was Earth Day

Yesterday was Earth Day, so they say on the television. One day out of 365 days a year dedicated to think about the Earth and all the harm we have done it. A day to listen to our experts on ways that we can reduce, reuse,and recycle to prevent waste in the landfill - ways to bring down our carbon footprint. A day to go shopping and get a free reusable bag from the store. A reminder that composting is good and dumbing old refrigerators in the forest is bad.

But because it was Earth Day yesterday and I didn't celebrate it with everyone else, I am going to today. So, here is my 2 cents on the subject. "Stop buying crap at the store people." Think about it, we live in a society that depends on meals in a can. We have forgotten how to cook. If we make our own soup from scratch that is one less soup can in the dump. Support your local farmer!! Don't by your veggies from a store that buys its veggies from an other province or Country - think of all the fuel that was needed to bring them to a store near you. Stop buying coffee in a paper cup - supply your own mug for a cup of Joe. Bike, walk, Run - whatever- get your butt out of the car seat and walk to your mailbox. I am sure your your planet would thank you for it.

There you have it, my 2 cents on Earthday.
