HAPPY EARTH DAY
Dated; April 22
"Ever wonder how Earth Day began? The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, with the goal of raising awareness about mankind’s role in protecting our natural world. On this date, 20 million Americans ventured outdoors and protested in favor of a more eco-conscious society."

Here is a picture many years ago when we first moved to Utah. Took 4 of my kids and hiked Stewart Falls up Provo Canyon. I knew it was a trail that MANY people hiked which also meant a lot of TRASH was possible. We took bags to collect trash along the way. Little did we know there would be WAY more then we expected. So many water bottles were thrown off the path, we couldn't collect them all. The next time we did this hike, we took larger garbage bags each and FILLED them up. We felt we made a bigger difference. I try to teach my kids that nature is a beautiful creation we get to enjoy, and we need to be AWARE and be RESPONSIBLE with our trash. Every time I'm on the trail (which is a lot) I look to pick up trash, it's a good feeling to make a difference for others to enjoy this beautiful world.

CHALLENGE
CHALLENGE
Today's challenge is to go on a walk, hike, or stroll even if it's walking a pet... pick up at least one piece of trash. But why not bring a bag and pick up several pieces of trash? We all make a difference. Cleaning up our world keeps it beautiful and will help plants and animals thrive while we share the space. Take a picture along the way. If you are unable to go on a walk, maybe go outside and take a picture of something you like in nature; a bird, a blossom, a little plant sprout, whatever you choose, and send it to me rwardwell@alpinedistrict.org
