It's....Earth Day!

It's been a rainy day today, making it really hard to catch any small mammals.  We caught only 2 red backed voles and a chipmunk today.  I'll show you the data on Friday when we cover it all.  Today, I would like to go over something that ties really well with what I am doing here in Nova Scotia.  Earth Day!  It's April 22nd, which is Earth Day.  To me, it's a healthy reminder that we need to make good choices in our lives that keep the environment in mind.  This can be anything from recycling to turning off your electronics at night.  You guys probably know me enough to see that I do not like to talk as much as actually doing it!  This is why your actions speak much louder than your words in regards to being more environmentally friendly.  When your friends and family see you making smart choices that help the environment, you will be surprised with what a difference you can make.  Ok, I'm done preaching!  Here is a link to an article I read here in Nova Scotia.  It's about a writer's opinion on the true meaning of earth day.  It's by Chris Benjamin and called "Earth Day Attack."

Journal Question #10:  After reading the article, write down your reaction to what you read.  Do you agree with what he said?  Why or why not?  What would you change if you were to write an article on Earth Day?  There is no right or wrong answer!!!  

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
