Happy April 22!!!

Nestled between Easter and Mother’s Day, there’s a day of celebration that doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. There are no colored eggs, no flower bouquets and no over-sized mammals to entertain the children. This too-often-ignored holiday is Earth Day.
Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin proposed the first nationwide environmental protest – Earth Day – back in 1970. Twenty million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. These massive rallies led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts.
Today, there is still much work to do. Our forests are being destroyed at an unprecedented rate and our oceans are being polluted and overfished. This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster and yet President Bush is calling for an increase in nuclear energy.
