It's a gathering of people becoming more aware - and continuing after today with more consciousness and less Styrofoam. My lifestyle has changed a lot because of events like this and an increased awareness. The people heard the cry of the Earth and came to heal her. Measured on virtually any scale, the world is in worse shape today than it was only two decades ago. People want to make the right choices in their lives, and now we have to.
Talk is no longer sufficient.
This is really a people day. Only if you, I, the person next to you and your neighbor makes changes in our own lives will we be able to improve the environment. Whether you plant a tree, join in a recycling drive or just pick up litter on your street, you have an important part to play in saving America's environment. The heritage of liberty and freedom we leave our children must be accompanied by the legacy of conservation and stewardship. I never really thought to get involved.
