\n<\/b> What have you done to make the world a better place?<\/b><\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nDoes anyone remember the first Earth Day? Way back in 1970 when about 22 million people believed they could do something to make the world a better place.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI was part of the 22 million. The school I was attending organized events for the day, with most regular classes cancelled. Many of us already took buses to school, but, that day, some rode bicycles, carpooled. someone even rode a horse to school.(And this wasn’t in Wyoming!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nMost of the days activities were scientific based, on topics such as eco-systems  and other earth science topics. But we also went out and picked up trash from the neighborhoods around the school.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAs a Girl Scout, I was also involved in environmental activities. The troop I was a part of was outdoor-oriented. We did a lot of camping, and as part of that, we did a lot to improve the areas we visited.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nLitter still drives me crazy. After buying our Jeep, one of the first things I did was put a box of garbage bags and work gloves under the back seat. That way, when we are out exploring, I can pick up trash other people have left behind. Sure, it still ends up in a dump, but at least it isn’t as much of a hazard to wildlife or an eyesore.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>
\nEven when I go for walks in the neighborhood, I’ve been known to pick up plastic cups and haul them home to dispose of. I might even have been spotted chasing down and empty bag blowing through the Walmart parking lot so I can put it in the trash. And I always think- if everyone would pick up one or two pieces of litter on a regular basis, it wouldn’t be the problem it is today. As John Denver sand “Celebrate Earth Day, every day.”<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>
\nSo that’s my little contribution to making the world a better place. What’s yours? <\/span><\/p>\n
