Pre-Earth Day Pump Up

"Everyday is Earth Day." - Unknown origin

Happy early Earth Day! I am so excited that it is that time of year again that we are reminded how precious our planet is. I am also very excited for the first Disneynature film, "Earth" that has its big release in theatres tomorrow. I plan to enjoy the film tomorrow night and hope you will too, but if you can't - expect my full review of the film later in the week. The co-director and co-writer of the film, Mark Linfield had this to say, "The movie offers a portrait of what we have and what we stand to lose"(this quote was taken from Liz Braun's article in the April 19th Toronto Sun). I think this is a very powerful quotation. So often environmental news is bad news and I think that if we are not reminded of what we have and what we really do stand to lose, we just become overwhelmed. It has been my fear that when people become overwhelmed, they become complacent. I am so excited that this film highlights the beauty of the Earth and cannot wait to be given more reasons to protect the Earth.

To help remind others, send them an ecard. I love the Earth Day ecards from hallmark.com. There is one called "Mother Nature Voicemail" that has a cartoon Earth checking its voicemail messages...so funny! Make sure you listen to them all - they are quite clever!
