Everyone at Earth Promise wishes you a Happy Earth Day!  Enjoy the day and celebrate our planet.  Most importantly continue to care for her.

Today, I will not use my words but those of others.  Found a few quotes that I thought would be enlightening on this special day.

“Earth Day is the first completely international and universal holiday that the world has ever known.  Every other holiday was tied to one place, or some political or special event.  This day is tied to Earth itself, and to the place of Earth in the whole solar system.”
– Anthropologist Margaret Mead

“Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure.”
– John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
-  Dr. Seuss, from The Lorax

“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.”
– Writer/Environmentalist Rachel Carson

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
– Anthropologist Margaret Mead

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
– Greek Proverb
