Did you remember to get Mother Earth a Present???

It's Earth Day.  Not like everyday we shouldn't be recycling, reducing and reusing. But today we specifically hunt out things to do to make the Earth a better place so it doesn't revolt and end up like a scene from the M. Night Shyamalan movie "The Happening".

What can you do with the kids? Put them to work!  Kids love being in nature, and as I look out the window this brisk but sunny day, I am thinking "Outside People!"  Try going to a local playground and picking up trash.   Or if you live by the coast, go to the beach.  Stop by one of the Audobon Society's many sites and take a hike (check out www.asri.org).    Go bug hunting, a favorite of the kids.  Paint a picture of the world.  Do Something! Get out those crushed up Stop and Shop bags, some non-latex gloves, and the hand sanitizer and clean up the Earth.
