Earth Day Is Friday - Free GiveAway

Greetings to All Today!

We need some sunshine, its been  gloomy this April.

I know they say April showers bring May flowers! 

But this is ridiculous!

Enough Already!

Well moving on now!

Earth Day is Friday!

A few facts about Earth Day!

• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to watch a TV for three hours - it's equivalent to half a gallon of gasoline.
• Earth Day is a relatively new holiday and was first celebrated on April 22 in 1970. More than 20 million Americans participated in this first Earth Day celebration
• Earth Day was founded by a senator of Wisconsin and the day is credited for creating the environmental movement.
• April 22 is the first official day of Spring in the Northern hemisphere and of Fall in the Southern hemisphere and was chosen to be Earth Day for this reason.
• • Never underestimate the importance of recycling: if every newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year. Unfortunately only 27% of all American newspapers are recycled.
  • More than 20,000,000 Hershey's Kisses are wrapped each day, using 133 square miles of tinfoil. All that foil is recyclable, but not many people realize it.
  • Only 11% of the earth's surface is used to grow food.
  • The world's first national park was started in 1872 at Yellowstone National Park in the US.
  
  
  Just a few facts that I wanted to pass along to give us all something to think about. We can all make a difference in one way or another to save our planet.
