EARTH DAY!!

I knew sometime during April was the famous "earth day" but I didn't know when exactly. I think that the author is somewhat right, we do need to realize that a special day once a year isn't enough to turn back the clock for the years past. Back when earth day first started in the 1970s it had a luster which made people listen. but now that same alarm that we have been hearing has grown to a repetitive common sound we all hear. Its hard to wake up because the alarm is going off when you've been hitting the snooze button for the past 40 years. Some people have gone and went green as technology grew and more people realize whats happening. The same luster that brought people to the first earth day has now tarnished with age and is in need of a polish, the environment is always changing and one broad fix will not be able to fix it. its like trying to open a can when the can opener hasn't been invented and all you have to open the can is a hammer and chisel and you only hack away at the can one day out of the year. one thing my family and I do to help is we recycle, cans and bottles among other things.
