Earth Day...everyday?

Yesterday was Earth Day, and we celebrated by hosting our own booth at Earth Day, San Diego, CA. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather sunny skies with a cool breeze, and it got me to thinking. What a great day this is, all these people here for the same reason, because they care about this place we call "Planet Earth." What a great thing, but...why does this only happen once a year? Shouldn't we care about the planet everyday and strive to make a difference? Every year on one Sunday in April people come from everywhere to celebrate the Earth, and they may buy a few things or learn about the newest products that are "good for the Planet." Then they go home and wait until the next Sunday in April when they can do it all over again.
It just makes me wonder why it is the one thing that sustains all life is only thought of once a year...same reason I wonder why we only give "THANKS" once a year at Thanksgiving, shouldn't we be thankful for everything we have everyday?

Some of you may have purchased reusable bags, some may already own them, just because you bought them doesn't mean that everytime you go to the grocery store the bagger will fill your reusable bags with your groceries...you have to remember to bring them. This is the hardest part about reusable bags, it is a habitat that you must create, if for some reason you forget them, don't stress, just try to remember them for next time. Put them in your car, put them by the front door, put a post-it on your forehead if you have to, but the more and more you remember to bring them the more it becomes a habit. One day you'll head to the store without them and you will feel like you are missing something, and realize that this which was so hard to begin with is now a part of your grocery store ritual, like sneaking down the candy aisle just to see what is calling your name. :) This is what makes a difference, this is what makes everyday "Earth Day," knowing that the little things you do, can and do make an impact to this place we call "Planet Earth."
