Some thoughts on Earth day


Today is Earth Day. 4.22.16

I encourage you all the do something today to protect, preserve, 
conserve and appreciate some part of this great earth we live on.

I encourage you to be proactive. A tiny step like picking up litter 
around your neighborhood or a bigger step like organizing a clean-up 
event at a park or beach with a few friends this week.

I used to run an Environmental Education Camp for kids in NE Michigan. 
The first thing we tried to instill in campers was an appreciation for 
the things that make up our earth..the great  outdoors if you will.   
The trees, plants, wildlife, lakes and streams that make up this earth. 
Whether you are in an extremely remote wilderness setting or an urban 
setting nature is right there with you.

And appreciating all the great natural resources we have on this earth 
is the primary step in beginning to care.

For me on this Earth day, my thoughts go to water. 71% of the earth is 
covered with water.

In 2008 I founded Great Lakes Clean Water Organization.  It started with 
a few good friends who had an idea. An idea to provide people with a 
safe way to dispose of unused drugs rather than flushing them down the 
drain.  Trace amounts of Pharmaceutical compounds were and are being 
found in lakes, rivers, remote streams and municipal water systems.

Because of my passion for water and yes I guess my Tenacity, along with 
the support of many others GLCW is now Great Lakes/US Clean Water and is 
playing a major role in providing solutions to the ever growing issue of 
proper Rx-Waste Disposal across the country.
