Earth Day!

Today, April 23, is Earth Day!  I remember back in 1970 (or the dark ages, as my grands put it!) when it was first celebrated.  Today is the 50th anniversary thereof.

Remember Earth Shoes?  They had lower heels than toes.  Hard to walk in until you got used to it, if you ever did.

Composting became a thing again.  Of course many of our ancestors had composted in the past but it became cool to do.  Recycle, reuse, use up or whatever (from the depression) came back.  Granny skirts, granny glasses. Granny (LOL!)

We thought Earth was our mother, and we should love her.

Well, we SHOULD.

The theme of that first Earth Day was the same as it is this Earth Day:  Save the earth!  The problems are the same too:  global warming, improper trash disposal, pesticides, ozone issues and air pollution, well, we could go on and on...

Of course now some of us are in denial about climate change and global warming.  And probably other things too.

Not the polar bears.  They believe in global warming every time they try to find ice, not for their martinis either!

So today, clean up, recycle, try to do your best to save your Mother.  Earth, that is.

Maybe you could plant a tree.
