Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day! Is everyone doing their part by conserving the earth? How much can one do to make a difference? I am not sure but I have to say that I am trying to do my part. I tried not to drive today but had to do some errands. Went to the grocery store, picked up my free HEB grocery bag to replace the plastic ones...yuck and Chris and I took dogie for a walk at the park. I will try to do my best when it comes to taking care of the earth...whether it is today or any day! On my runs and rides, I am floored of how much trash is around the roads or the parks. Have people not been educated with throwing litter or do they just not care? Do folks not care since they won't be around in 100 years? Why is it that hard to put trash in a garbage can that is only 3 feet away from you? Is it hard to put your Coke can in the recycle bin? Why is it hard to put a cigarette butt in your ash tray in your car versus the road? Do folks not want to dirty their car? What about dirtying our earth? Truthfully, it disgust me, how naive people can be towards this earth...since it is the only earth we live on. We all may have a busy schedule with jobs, family, triathlon training, school, etc. but just like we make time for ourselves...we can make time for our earth! (Thank you for letting me get on my soap box for today!)
