Earth Day - April 22, 2008

I was at my son's school this morning helping his teacher prepare for "Earth Day" tomorrow. There are times when I love going to 1st Grade...I learn something new everytime I'm over at the school volunteering...it's almost as though I'm back in 1st Grade.

A little history of Earth Day....

Earth Day is an annual celebration of the environment in the United States. According to the State Department, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconcin, proposed a nationwide teach-in on the environment that led to the first Earth Day in 1970. Now the celebration has become an international celebration.

Going Green has become very popular over the last few years. When watching HGTV, there are numerous of programs to teach yourself and even your children how to become green. HGTV is also doing a "Green Home sweepstakes." Enter now for a chance to win an eco-friendly home in the green community of Tradition Hilton Head, S.C. and a new GMC® Yukon Hybrid.

I live in Chandler, Arizona and throughout this week around the city there are Earth Day Event's scheduled. To check out these events go to Earth Day Celebration. Also for those Arizonians that have Green on there mind, you can blog at AZ Green Day. It's kind of cool to read other individuals tips and ideas.

As a mom, I enjoy arizonamoms.com They had a feature article on "8 more things eco-moms can do to turn kids green." Great tips!
