Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate! Earth Day is today!
I truly do celebrate Earth Day, and am thankful a holiday was created to remind us all to care for this amazing place right under our feet.
At age 10, Fontana Elementary, Wisconsin, taught me a lot about what the earth has to offer. It had a long tradition of environmental education. I learned about ecosystems in the arboretum, hiked woods to learn about deciduous vs. evergreen, and researched the local water sources. The program was (and is still is) called Outdoor Ed.
I came out of that Outdoor Ed experience awed, awakened to the interconnectedness of our world, and with the special “Salt of the Earth Award”. To this day, that award remains the one I hold most dear. I still remember the deep smile on my face as it passed to my hands, and the thrill in my chest when I was asked back as a high school mentor.
Thrive Images, the name of my company, holds a few meanings for me, not least of which resonates back to my roots, learning about environmentalism.
Whatever you can do to learn about, help and celebrate environmentalism here on our Earth please keep doing it. It will not only help you thrive, it will also help all the other pieces of the ecosystem that support you!
