Earth Day is Sunday! At Knapp, we are celebrating on Monday. We will be reading Environmental Facts over the announcements Monday- Friday, visiting our Courtyard, and cleaning up around the school grounds.
As much as I love Earth Day and Arbor Day, I wish that more people would take care of Mother Earth EVERY DAY. Just like EVERY DAY should be Mother's or Father's Day, every day should be Earth Day. I recently showed my science classes the HBO documentary Too Hot Not Too Handle. This documentary showed how our human race is polluting our air and affecting our Ozone Layer and therefore causing life-threatening weather conditions and events. I know there is a debate whether there are just Solar Cycles occurring or if humans are really causing Global Warming, but the fact remains...our air quality has decreased. When I fly into LA to visit family, I see brown smog clouds resting above the sky in the morning. I can also think back to my Montana vacation and noticing what a difference in the air quality. I had never breathed in such fresh, clean air. I also visit NYC often and cannot believe that people can continually walk the streets breathing in filth.
Therefore, even if you do not believe in Global Warming, please believe in yourself. Please know that we are polluting our air and therefore hurting our bodies by driving, building, and littering.
PLEASE MAKE EVERY DAY EARTH DAY in order to not just save others, animals, and plants, but to save our futures!
