Earth Day should be celebrated every day, but for whatever reason, April 22 has been selected as the 24-hour timeframe to observe our planet’s “birthday.”
Some businesses see it as a pure marketing opportunity to grow profits. Others are more earnest and involve themselves in environmental initiatives that have integrity.
It’s the difference between arranging plastic-wrapped, store-bought flowers in a vase, and planting seeds in rich, fertile soil.
Brown petals. Or new life that pushes through the coldest of seasons.
Ask people who understand – in this case, the teachers and young students at http://realschoolgardens.org.
And why not make a donation while you’re there?
Being Mother Nature for a day could grow on you.
