Earth Day

Found via Inhabitat, the following excerpt definitely sums up how I feel about Earth Day. It’s a good time for everyone to consider what they are and should be doing for the planet all year round, not just on this one particular day.

Earth Day shouldn’t be seen as just another day in your calendar. Thinking about this little blue planet of ours should be an everyday occurence, not limited to a single day. So how will I celebrate Earth Day? I will do my best to keep improving the way that I live throughout the year by reducing my rather large footprint, keeping my water and energy use down, and by cycling and using public transportation as much as possible. So, here’s hoping that we never get “Have an environmentally friendly Earth Day” hallmark cards, gifts, or chocolates; but rather, let’s hope that Earth Day becomes Earth Week, Earth Year, and Earth Life.
