"Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to save the Earth. Since its inception, the organizers promote events educating the public about a variety of subjects including: climate change air pollution water pollution erosion recycling composting renewable fuels and power carbon footprints efficient cars rain forests ecosystems As citizens of the world, we can take actions protecting the Earth, its creatures and their habitats. Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows. It can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required."
My notes: This day is just to remind us but have everyday be Earth Day!

ZandraJoi, Yes, we can ALL take actions to protect Earth. It starts with actually CARING about it. Some people talk a lot and do nothing...they could care less, to them it's 'just for show'...pitiful. The rest of us step up every day, even if it's just in little ways; still counts..:-)

"Who can resist a handful of sweet jelly beans on National Jelly Bean Day? Well on April 22nd each year, you really don’t have to resist at all. As a celebration, enjoying them is a must! While candies made in a similar manner existed before the jelly bean, Boston confectioner William Schrafft made them popular during the Civil War. With their firm exterior, jelly beans were the first candies sold by the pound. Schrafft encouraged his customers to send them to Union soldiers."
My notes: Interesting they were made during the Civil War! I used to love Jelly Beans. We went to a store that sold a wide variety including ones that tasted like popcorn!

"Celebrate Trails Day on the fourth Saturday in April encourages the nation to get out and enjoy the country’s outstanding trail systems. As the weather warms up, so does the trail season. While many people use them all year long, America’s trail system gets its real workout between April and October when the weather is ripe for outdoor activity. The number of established trails grows every year. Some take the form of well-defined foot or bike routes while others take us onto a beaten path. No matter what kind of path you choose to take, the day encourages you to appreciate the thousands of miles of trails and to bring a friend with you, too!"
My notes: Do you have trails you like to go on? We have a few that allow our dog to be off leash.

"Each year, National Girl Scout Leader's Day on April 22nd recognizes the thousands of leaders who volunteer their time and share their experiences with youth across the country. Girl Scout volunteer leaders have been positively impacting girls' lives since the beginning of Girl Scouting in 1912. These leaders are often beacons for girls as they approach womanhood. They provide a foundation of confidence, experience, respect, and courage that stays with a young woman throughout her lifetime." My notes: While I have never been in the Girl Scouts, this is a good place for girls to be girls & to learn skills that will help them become women.
