Today, Wednesday, April 22nd is an Earth day. (The United Nations celebrates Earth day later in the year on the March equinox).
The weather has been gorgeous these last few days. Although, bike to work week isn’t till May 11–17, it’s awesome to see so many people biking to work. I do chuckle a little at the awkward commuter cyclist in their business attire and inappropriate shoes, but good on ‘em!
Now, when I think of Earth Day, I think of my son, and my son’s future children. I get an anxious energy to do my part for Earth every day.
I regularly think of child Canadian Severn Cullis-Suzuki in 1992 addressing the UN Earth Summit 1992:
“If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it. … You grownups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, make your actions reflect your words”
