Earth Day

Mobilize The Earth:

That is the message

for Earth Day this year.

Scanning the Earth Day webpage,

I see this:

collect A Billion Acts of Green.

Of course, I’m intrigued!

You pledge to do something

“Green” to help out

the environment.

I found a footprint calculator...

Give it a try.

You know what...

the Hairy Cow

holds her head up high

and declares that each

and every day,

although she is a heavy,

four hoofed beast,

her footprint is small.

I’ve blogged facts and figures before...

This year, I want to share this...

a representation

of the timeline of the Earth.

Dinosaurs didn’t turn up

until 57 minutes into the hour!

We have been on the Earth

for the tiniest,

most miniscule moment...

It’s not taken long

to have a huge impact! 

 (At least when the dinosaurs died,

they gave themselves up

so that we could use them

 later as fossil fuel!)

Finally, we are starting

to clean up our act. 

 Jump on board,

the Earth needs us

and today is her day.  

Photos from here and here.

And, to a little girl

who’s big enough

to ride the big slide

all by herself ...

Happy Birthday! x
