Dig up old glass bottles 4 earth day..

'Go Green!'

Did you know that  back in the old days like up til the 1950's, there were no garbage trucks and people used to bury their trash in their back yards in dumps just out of sight like in the woods.  In fact if you take a walk in the woods, you find several old dumps.  Ugh. I've been digging at some of these dumps,up some of the bottles and selling them for money so am helping clean up the earth as these bottles aren't smashed and glass isn't biodegradable. So what will you do for earth day?

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.

She has not been doing well. Prayers Welcomed and again, "Happy Earth Day All!". :) -Ann

Yeh! My page rank went up to 3! Finally.

Now I need my other blogs to go up as well! My Alexa rank has gone down though as I rarely drop on entrecard anyomore as I have better things to do. In my opinion, I shouldn't have to influence people to read or visit my blog. If they like it they will come. All I need to do is make a nice page that is user freindly and make sure it is well advertised so people hear of it and then the fact it is interesting to others as well as my self and useful and fun will be enough.
