Happy Earth Day, again...

'Go Green!'

What have we learned, if anything? Are things any better for our planet and inevitably us who live on it?! Saw a documentary about this topic called 'Earth Days' on PBS. We have surprisingly been celebrating Earth day now for 40 years! I didn't know this. at first it started as a grassroots hippie phenomenon with the largest demonstration in NYC whcih brought thousands of interested people in 1970. With the Republican administrations things went south fast after Carter, for our planet whcih is not surprising as republicans have had a long history of bineg disinterested in our environment.

What are your thoughts? What will you do Thursday in honor of Earth Day? Last year I taught a class at the library and I attended a Green fair in Rhinebeck. I make beer bottle cap jewelry as you know and usually do a class. I ran a class at the nursing home in New Rochelle, Ny. My mom is currently in which is why have been scarce here, sorry. She has not been doing well. Prayers Welcomed and again, "Happy Earth Day All!". :) -Ann

'Terrafurnishings' makes 'Green' furniture and i think i will get some literature on 'Green' homes like building with the solar energy and reusable wood in mind instead of tearing down trees in the forest. I will share on how i compost my cat litter as i use pine or cedar litter which is biodegreadable and the waste is thrown in a garbage pail that has a hole in the bottle and I throw 'Rid=ex septic fluid in it to eat it up! i will also get some peole fro the 'CSA' farm in Germantown to speak on farm to table produce instead of buying from your local super market. They even have milk from their goat and eggs from their chickens! They will be at the farmer's market this year. i will also se if i can get soem people or literature from'Buy Greene!' which is a campaign to buy in Green county Ny especially handmade product from artists and artisans.
