It's Earth Day..

I hadn't realised today was Earth Day! But today I've doing my ordinary thing, which is pretty much a celebration of the earth :) I've been out walking the goats, and it's a beautiful Spring day. I'm so happy to see you're going to do some letters too. When I read the stories of some of the kids on the website it makes me cry, and so terribly grateful that my kids are healthy. Writing a letter is such an easy thing to do really, and it'll tie in brilliantly with using no electricity!

That is a wonderful idea! I spent part of yesterday without lights as we had a storm....and it knocked out the lights...does that count? I am laying out new grass seed though this afternoon...hopefully I can fill in the patches that are sparce!

I didn't have any plans for earth day. I heard something on tv about earth day but wasn't sure which day it was. I can remember when kids used to bring home small trees that they could plant. I guess schools don't do that anymore.

What a great idea to write to sick children Kat. I sent an email to the twins' mother reminding her of Earth Day as they wear jeand and an earth day Tee shirt colour like blue or green. They should also bring in a poem or a poster or a drawing. They will also be planting trees on the school's propertyand floweing bushes too. I can't make a contribution until this evening as it is washing and ironing day today so electricity willl have to be used. But I do some some ferns to plant but am not sure that I can do it alone.Maybe I will get the lady who has come to do the washing to help me.

I always remember my kid's school doing something for earth day. They would do some craft, or have some home-activity that they have to do to commemorate Earth day. I guess this year they didn't have anything. If not for a post on facebook, I wouldn't even know that it was Earth Day.

Happy earth-day. Many people don't cares.

Hi katsmeow1213! Earth day for me was fun and lucky! ;) I was able to get a time out with online jobs and opted to spend time at home more. So my husband and I decided to do a general house cleaning. I was tasked to organize things and he takes care of the cleaning. So I started organizing bedroom, the study room and finally the kitchen. I knew that the kitchen would be the most challenging but not expecting "treasures"! I had a lot of junk under the sink and I can sell them to a junk shop. I got a lot of used bottles, empty cans, used papers and broken stuff. I was happy to clean those out and even happier that I got something out of trash. Instead of just throwing trash, why not consider to sell them or reuse them until exhausted. You may use something in different ways and may receive money instead, just like me. So Earth Day activities are not confined with planting but as well as lessening waste that makes the Earth clean and green. Thanks for the discussion! ;)

I forgot all about Earth Day until I logged into myLot. I'm pretty disappointed in the way our planet is polluted every single day. I wish I could see how it looked on Day 1!
