Yesterday was Earth Day 2008 (well, every day should be an Earth Day) and although we really didn't celebrate this holiday as a family, we talked about it and help it in our minds (as we drove across the state... but at least our newer car is more fuel efficient and has reduced emissions compared to vehicles 20 - 30 years ago).We could always do more, that much I'm always aware of, but for now we are teaching our kids about the important responsibilities we have as guardians and custodians of the planet.
My generation pioneered recycling, banning CFCs, promoting awareness of rain forest reductions, and knowledge about the harms created by excessive CO2 emissions.
I hope that their generation will take this that much farther. Wouldn't it be nice to segregate ourselves from our dependency on fossil fuels?
