Today is Earth Day, a time to contemplate our role in keeping the Earth healthy. Small things do count, you know. Turn off lights when you leave a room, take short showers, open the door of your dishwasher to let the dishes air dry, hang heavy clothes on an outside clothesline---every little bit helps. Grow your own produce, plant a tree, shop on your side of town. Instead of buying everything new, trade with friends and family or shop garage sales. Donate unwanted items to the Salvation Army or the Goodwill rather than throwing them out. We only have one earthly home and it doesn't look like there are any other habitable planets for zillions of miles, so we need to treat this big blue marble with kid gloves!
