Today is the 39th anniversary of Earth Day. Earth Day was created to inspire awareness and appreciation our planet and Earth's environment. It was originally founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970.
Earth Day is an important day to our planet.
We at Cloverleaf Farm think that Earth Day should be practiced every day.
We are.
We made the decision along time ago to buy only products that are Earth Friendy. Now we are stepping it up a notch.
We already recycle, but realized this isn't enough. The plastic water bottles have long disappeared from our lives, but there are so many other products that are marketed in plastic. We don't want to be part of the problem, we want to be part of the solution. So, we have decided to stop buying products that are packaged in plastic as much as possible. This is a tough assignment, but if you look around, there are other options to many products. For example, you can buy lemon juice in a plastic bottle, or go to a natural food store and get it in a glass bottle. It may cost more in the bottle, and Cloverleaf Farm feels the future of our Earth is worth it.
Today in honor of Earth Day 2009, we will plant an Austrian Pine tree. It may be just a small step in making this a better planet, but it is a step just the same.
