Tomorrow morning is Earth day and earth needs all the help me can give 'her'.
I know there are several events out there celebrating, and because I am working in the afternoon I am missing the big one I'd like to attend so anyone one that wants to go in spirit for me I thank greatly. Mostly go for the earth who gives us all life despite how me mistreat her.
Richard's blog Wundernutblog (LOVE the name) has a great list of the events so please head over there and give him a shout for the great work he's doing.
I will be heading over at 9am to the clean up 1st avenue event!
Here's a video of Tracy talking about the event and the challenges she has faced in the simple desire to clean up the litter in her community.

Clean Up 1st Ave East on Earth Day April 22
New Action of the Day - Keep it Clean
My dog Kahlo and I are about to go for a walk at the most beautiful Inglis Falls
Unfortunately, as the snow melts the impact of littering is seen very abundantly.
Today's action is Kahlo and I are going to pick up all the garbage we see and clean up one of our favorite places.
We won't stop there - whenever - we see littler we will pick it up and put it in it's place.
Will you join us?
