Salve omnes!That's "hello all" in Latin. Today is Earth Day, and it should be a day to celebrate, well, you guessed it: the Earth. Our fair planet has been around for millions of years, and hopefully continues to keep spinning around on its little axis for quite a while longer. Even when the zombies show up, our efforts on Earth Day will probably keep things moving, right? Well, we'll just keep thinking that it will.

So, Earth Day. There are tons of companies out there participating in the Earth Day effort with campaigns and picnics and all kinds of other...stuff. On earthday.org, they earth-friendly folk have gathered a variety of ways to keep the earth happy and clean like environmental education projects, spreading the word about issues concerning the health and welfare of the planet, planting trees as part of the Canopy Project. Those are all well and good, but what can we do on the local, individual level?

Well, the Holiday Hero and I did nothing! That's right! Absolutely nothing. And I think it was a great success for the health of our planet. We didn't use the car which eliminated toxic fumes from escaping our car; we didn't eat any fast food which helped to quell the growing pollution issue; and we decided to simply spend time together and that's always a win for the happiness of the earth and its inhabitants. No, we didn't fund a new initiative or walk a 5K for anything, but our passivity didn't spread the pain either. I'm even going paperless when it comes to my Bio classes as well, so every email I send is one less tree that needs to get cut down, right?

Anyway, tell your mother (Earth) how much you love and appreciate her by keeping it on the "down low" today. That's right, I went there!

Cheers,

Celebration Sensation, out.
