I don't plan on doing anything special. I will however still recycle as much as possible. I already have some snap peas planted & hope to plant beans, squash & tomatoes.

Why would I do anything differently on just 1 day of the year? We shouldn't just have 1 day to be eco-aware. It's like only appreciating civil rights on Martin Luther King day, celebrating our freedom only on Independence Day, or being thankful only on Thanksgiving. What about the other 364 days? If you want to do something special for Earth Day, why not go ahead and do it NOW?

Every year my kids are given the oppotunity to take home free baby trees at school, luckily they actually LIKE the idea. We plant them in our yard and the yards of other family members.

I try to make every day earth day by re-purposing, using my own canvas grocery bags, conserving my energy and water use and avoiding chemicals that are bad for everyone. Earth day is a good platform to make people aware of our need to conserve and renew, but we should all do what we can all year round. I think for Earth day, I will give out some reusable grocery bags to family and friends to get them started. I can't do anything about the climate, but I can do my best to be considerate of the world.

I will start out with work and then when I'm finally done I will go home and plant some veggies in the garden (organic of course), and I will take my 21 month old son for a walk and teach him to pick up garbage that people disrespectfully litter the earth with.

I am going to spend two hours walking up and down the highway in front of my house and pick up trash with my 4 year old grandaughter and after lunch we're planting 4 tiny trees in our back yard, one tree for each year of her life. I also intend to tell her how all the garbage gets into the ditches by the highway. Their never to young to start teaching them about their Mother (EARTH).

Except for the hour I was in Physical Therapy, I cleaned out a planting bed preparing for new flowers ad shrubs, mulched a new flower bed where the gladiolas have just come up and weeded and mulched my vegetable garden. Even managed to drop some seeds in the bird feeder. I feel really green today. I need to turn off this computer and save some energy!!!

Nothing, I think that earth day, saving the environment, and global warming is just a bunch of garbage, and it is a big old scam from all the idiots in Washington to get more tax money out of all of us, and to try to grow government bigger off of the backs of hard working Americans. Sure there are exceptions, (like you wouldn't allow factories ect to dump their garbage in a river), but that is just common sense. If you want to plant a tree go ahead, they are very pretty, but I think that people need to get more informed about what is really going on behind the scenes, and what government is really doing here, and how they are taking more and more of your money (for those of you who actually pay taxes) and how they are making more and more useless rules and restrictions, it is hurting our economy, and will continue to hurt it more, and that is the last thing we need right now.

We started our own vegetable garden and started with some plants as well. I'm just starting to learn everything I need to do for this but so far I'm really having good time. I live in a country that doesn't recycle and constantly uses plastic bags, so in my neighborhood we've put dustbins all over and once a week we clean up anything that people have put in the bins. I also got all my neighbors to start seperating their things and we have two drivers who come to get plastics and aluminum. All the ladies I know when we go shopping to bazaars we use big cloth bags so we dont need the plastic ones that they sell there. And the place where I do grocery shopping, had quite a few talks with the owners and they agreed to stop plastic bags and provide paper ones instead yeah!

It was raining like cats and dogs here on April 22, with tornado warnings, lol, so, couldn't go out there and "enjoy" the earth. I don't wait for a holiday, anyway, to do what I normally do, which is plant a garden in the spring and harvest during the summer and fall. To me, I think we should all respect nature every day by adapting to good sound habits. Recycling plastic grocery bags, bottles by re-using them. Like I use them for trash bags in my car and small waste baskets in the home. I also utilize plastic bottles by cutting them in half for my granddaughter to use in the sand box: tops to use as a sieve, bottoms as scoops.
