***D’s Guest Post***
Welcome to Save-the-Earth Saturday! I hope you’ll join me with a story or a tip.
The second house I lived in was in Clear Lake WI, which was also the birthplace of Gaylord A Nelson Founder of Earth Day. I know a lot About Gaylord Nelson because of Clear Lake. The teachers say that he would visit classrooms often.
The first Earth Day was founded in 1970. It took 6 years to prepare the first Earth Day and finally make it a holiday.
Earth Day is a day to be thankful and enjoy our Earth. But Earth doesn’t enjoy us just sitting back! Earth wants to be clean so do some thing it likes such as riding a bike to school/work, take in your recycling. Remember! Earth Day is on April 22, 2007!
Next week, I will be talking about recycling. (The interesting parts any way!)
Please share any tips you have related to conservation, or to help people prepare for Earth Day. Here are some great Earth Day websites for kids:
