April is Earth Day (April 21st) Month and a very important
month for conservation. In grade school,
we celebrated Earth Day by ordering t-shirts with animals and “save the ___”
slogans. We did art projects and had an
“environmental” lesson on Earth Day.
Earth Day is much more then new shirts and a one day focus of
environmental tid-bits. Earth Day was
established in 1970 by founder Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator. The first Earth Day brought all cultural backgrounds,
political parties, and personal war opinions together for one cause. As years progressed, some years focused on different
conservation efforts and clean environmental campaigns. Many events are scheduled on Earth Day to
celebrate going green, recycling, and planting.
I have attached the link below which will lead you to the Cincinnati
Earth Day celebration at Sawyer Point.
This year’s theme is “One Earth…One Chance”. The event will have many vendors with
hands-on displays, animals, creations from recycled materials, and much
more. The main aim for Earth Day is to
remind everyone of the constant fight for a clean environment and educate on
environmental changes such as climate change.
Seeing that one main event during Earth Day is planting
trees, I wanted to post this article. While
researching articles, I came across the below link to the article about a
company making guitars from endangered trees.
Having owned and played a guitar in the past, I feel somewhat
guilty. One of the trees included in
this article is the Madagascar Ebony which is responsible for the beautiful eye
catching fretboard of the Gibson guitars.
