Keeping Earth Day Revolving Year-Round
Today is Earth Day and millions of people across the country will be participating in environmentally conscious activities.
By tomorrow, many of those same people will likely be tossing cigarette butts or fast food wrappers out the window of their car.
According to a story on Tampa Bay Online, Scott Harper, the county’s solid waste services manager, said today is a great starting point for people to get in the mindset of recycling everything from newspapers and plastic bottles to appliances and phone books. Most everything is recyclable, he said.
Tom Lowe, owner of Buck & Buck Office Equipment said his company recycles used printer toner cartridges so they don’t end up in the landfill.
It’s profitable and saves the environment as well, he said.
Lowe, 49, said his Brooksville company tries to be as “green” as possible, even to the extent of recycling its cardboard boxes.Lowe said it’s nice to have one day to remember to be good stewards of the Earth and hopes that people will continue the spirit year-round.

Very true. It is much more important for people to spend every day doing these earth-friendly things rather than only doing them one day and forgetting what they had learned the next.

Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. It is been celebrated for Rising concern about the “environmental crisis”. EARTH DAY is the first holy day which transcends all national borders, yet preserves all geographical integrities, spans mountains and oceans and time belts, and yet brings people all over the world into one resonating accord, is devoted to the preservation of the harmony in nature and yet draws upon the triumphs of technology, the measurement of time, and instantaneous communication through space.
