There are numerous preparations taking place all over the country today for tomorrow’s grand celebration of Earth Day’s 40^th Anniversary.  Earth Day is a great opportunity to mentor friends and family and provide them with resources and solutions to create a healthier, more sustainable planet. There are many core issues that need to be recognized, if not resolved.  You can participate in programs such as: Plant A Tree Program, Recycling & Waste Reduction, Switch-Off Power Hour, Green Week, Green Schools, or on your own, for example, by going organic or investing in energy efficient appliances.  For a complete list of programs, celebrations, or ideas on how to mentor individuals on our Earth’s ecosystem, please visit www.earthday.org.
