It's Earth Day! It's Earth Day!

Maybe there are some people out there who believe that Christmas is a better holiday than Earth Day. Heck, there are probably people out there who don't consider Earth Day a holiday at all, considering we still have to work and everything, but those attitudes don't diminish the importance and awesomeness of Earth Day for a single second.

I won't bore you with a recap of what ED is and why it exists (you can read about it farther down on this page if you haven't already), but I will say that I hope everyone is taking a least a few minutes of their busy, work-filled day to do one green thing for their community and/or the planet. It can be as small as picking up a few pieces of trash on your way home or deciding to skip the chicken breast and eat vegetarian this evening...just do SOMETHING. This is one day that everyone who cares about the future of the Earth needs to band together and show their solidarity against the degradation of our planet, and if we all do one little thing, it can add up to great change. Seriously, if we all take the time to pick up and recycle one or two bottles today, that's hundreds (if not thousands) of bottles that will never reach a landfill...and that's simply if the readers of this blog make an effort. Think about the effect we could have if we encourage our friends and family to do the same! Our humble, initial efforts could end up with a far greater result than we had expected.

So, let's make this effort's growth exponential. If all my readers make sure that at least two other people know that today is Earth Day and encourage those other people to do the same, today's message could go viral Susan Boyle-style. What are you waiting for?!!? GO PASS SPREAD THE WORD, YBG-STYLE!
