For me (maybe not others) It’s a day I set an example for myself. Kind of like how others set their new year resolutions. Here is where I set my extreme and try and ween myself down to as close to that point as I can. This of course is without living in a cave and eating what ever food I can smush between two rocks. Here in Houston, Earth day is over. Earth Day link. Bit out off schedule. I have no idea why Houston celebrated so soon.
I have a plan of using very little gasoline and electronics (hard for me to do) On this 22nd. No cell phone, No computer, no tv. No seafood, no beef No poultry. I try and enjoy outdoor events with everyone else
I am not out to jog 50 miles or row a boat upstream for 2 hours. Maybe some other year. Really I have to have an actual motivation. If I am going to jog 50 miles, I need to be doing for transportation. If I row a boat upstream for 2 hours, I have to be dropping something off or working a fishing net.. or something. There has to be multiple goals. Otherwise I feel like I am playing in the creek. If I run 50 miles, there has to be a friend next to me who just got back from a coma and needs to learn how to walk/run again. Although I would like to move 2 miles from work. Then I can walk or jog to work every day and back every day. That would be a great change. Public transportation, is a nice place to learn how to talk like a gangster. So that is out of the question.
My goals are to better myself. If I can make a change in myself, then I didn’t just pass on the story and feel as if I made a good enough change, I actually changed myself. If I changed myself, then I made a change to all.

Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth‘s environment. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970 and is celebrated in many countries every year. Earth Day is celebrated in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Many communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues.
In the United States, Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22. The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the spring equinox, which is often 20 March. This is a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. The first governmental recognition of Earth Day, authorized by the city San Francisco, was on the spring equinox in 1970. The United Nations adopted this holiday the next year and celebrated Earth Day for the first time on the spring equinox in 1971
