Hey Guys!🐾
Happy Earth Day🌎!! This event was first celebrated on this day in 1970. At that time, my mom was a young "pup" in high school. She said that she remembers that day like yesterday! The weather was perfect for that April day for it was warm and sunny. She said that the whole school walked out after lunch and sat on the football field to show their support for Earth Day! (P.S. no one got in trouble for this either!) Here is a little background information regarding Earth Day that mom found on the Wikipedia Website:
"Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day now includes events in more than 193 countries. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection.The first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities across the United States. More importantly, it "brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine
for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform."
Mom may be an old "pup" now, but she says that she will always fondly remember that day! Sometimes I think that she wishes she could go back to that time period for look how she dressed us up!!!! Gotta have that hippie look going with the beads...…..just missing the jackets and/or vests with the fringe and the head bands, LOL!
Till next time, it's paws up and high five!!!
Chewy Man🐕
