Several of us biology students gathered probably with assistance from Dr. Fleharty or Dr. Hulett, and did an incredibly simple thing, picked up trash. At least people are still picking up trash. I'm afraid we're losing the war though in seeing still so much crap out in the world. I did a little rant on "ballution" for the next KDWP mag. I'm on that case now. Don't ballute! :-)kansasoutbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520598132240854448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298089835460304888.post-50541936699518061352009-04-23T12:59:00.000-06:002009-04-23T12:59:00.000-06:00I would love to hear that memory or your first Ear...I would love to hear that memory or your first Earth Day again. I have another Earth Day memory of us (although I don't think it was even on earth day) riding in the back of the pickup truck. Cruising slowly and stopping to pick up trash on the country roads.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461749925183732330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298089835460304888.post-88970567689114712052009-04-23T08:27:00.000-06:002009-04-23T08:27:00.000-06:00My daughters and their families sure made MY Earth...My daughters and their families sure made MY Earth Day. I got to instruct some HS kids yesterday and was struck by the fact this was the 39th Earth Day. Another sobering moment was when I was telling these fairly uninterested students of my own experiences in picking up trash during the first earth day. I encouraged them to not litter and not be jerks with our environment. While it doesn't seem to be doing much good looking at all the trash everwhere, I'm reassured that my daughters carry on the thoughts and the desire to good things for Earth. I used to just talk about grandkids and such being dependent on it. Now, its just so real with real grandkids that will, indeed, depend on our actions. Thanks daughter Andi for keeping the passion alive. <br />Love, Dadkansasoutbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520598132240854448noreply@blogger.com
