Good morning! For those of you who don't know, Earth Week is happening NOW! One of my roommates and best friends (See blog interview about Leslie Lewis) is an intern at the Illinois State Sustainability Office and she has made me more aware of Earth Week than ever before. I remember in grade school when we would do activities regarding this week, but I never understood the reasoning beyond arts and crafts. I think this particular week is overlooked a lot, but now more than ever, we are in desperate need of the recognition of our earth. There are so many reasons to recognize the needs of our earth and take the necessary steps to take care of it. In researching a little about Earth Week, I came across an Earth Week website with daily updates on the happenings around our earth. Check it out! http://www.earthweek.com/
Also, if you are an Illinois State student, check out the various Earth Week activities this week!
