My
thoughts as I was reminded by Glenn and Google this morning:
I
should not need a reminder, considering our family’s history around Earth Day;
that’s another story I will never forget.
We
saved some trees over the years by not printing our thousands of photos, stored
digitally for everyone to enjoy.
Naturally
we have peaceful memories centered in a favorite frontier retreat nearby … the 4,400-acre
Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve and boardwalk; (more at nature.org)
Actions that “celebrate” today:
Turned
off the lights and the furnace; (it’s still cold outside at night.)
Opened
the blinds to see nature, and "let the sunshine
in"; (recalled "Aquarius" by The 5th Dimension, and I felt it!)
Recycled
Del Taco Tuesday paper sacks, and figured their “hand-grated fresh cheddar”
process saved electricity; (we choose our fast food with care.)
Learned
that “it takes just a few clicks to help protect our planet on the day that we
celebrate it.” – The Nature Conservancy
Quietly push-mowed the lawn by my own power without waking the neighbors, and minimally watered.
Checked
out “our 10 things you can do to help save the Earth."

Planned to shovel compost into a grow box, and take a twenty-minute power nap as a celebratory siesta.
Just the two of us lovebirds
