Happy Earth Day!


Today we celebrate Earth Day and the goodness of what is Mother Nature. It is in fact the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a celebration that is designed to inspire awareness and appreciation of the Earth's environment. Today it is important to remember that what we have and enjoy today is what we want to pass on to our children.
I will not get preachy but I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to educate yourself, your kids, your family and friends about the importance of being conscious of your every day actions. It's easy! Recycle, unplug things in your house that you are not using, reuse things as much as possible, buy local products, drive less. All these things make a huge difference.

Also, take the time to send this educational Earth Day ecard from Make an Impact. Make an Impact is my new project at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change where I work, focused on educating individuals about the actions they can take to make a positive difference for our Planet.


Happy Earth Day everyone and thanks for making your impact today and every day!
