On this New Yorkled
Magazine page are featured Earth Day events for all to join in
on and help make this a better world and to better our environment.
Yup!
It's that time of year again. When we all gather in many ways
to show our support, thoughts and care for Mother Nature. Unfortunately
the world seems to need this Tender Loving Care more now than
ever in human history it seems. Things almost feel as if they're
throttling out of control what with newspapers, television and
all other sorts of media mentioning how bad things are with the
environment.
It's most certainly
our time and possibly last chance to make known to the powers
that be how bad things are. How imperative the need is to begin
fixing things and how we need to spread the
word for the sake of enlightening others and educating folks.
It's our world and its the world which our children will inherit.
Our future generations deserve a better world!
Heck, it's also a good
way for us to instill in our kids the responsibility they have
in caring for our planet. So if you're interested in learning
more about participatory events, festivals and other items:
