What a great turnout at the Earth Day Celebration at the Museum. We had the best time watching the children make flowers out of outdated and discarded catalogs.

The first Earth Day was commemorated on April 22nd, 1970, bringing together for the first time various groups involved in helping to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. Although we have made great strides in cleaning up pollution, preventing new pollution, and helping to conserve and protect our air and water, we need to continue this stewardship in order to maintain a healthy environment for current and future generations.
We can make “Earth Day Every Day” by doing some simple things in our daily lives that help save energy, save the environment and save money, too!

Other things to do around the house to protect our air and water quality are:
Avoid the use of harsh chemicals, cleaning products, and solvents. Look for safer alternatives. They’re better for the environment and your kids. The American Lung Association notes there has been a 56% increase in asthma between 1979 and 1993. About 1/3 of the cases are children under 18 years of age. They note that triggers for asthma are often things which also pollute our outdoor and indoor environments. They suggest the following ideas for reducing asthma/allergy triggers: Reduce exposure to tobacco and wood smoke, perfume and scented cosmetics, strong fumes from cleaning products and home repair products, including room deodorizers, cleaning solvents, paint and paint thinners, furniture polish, etc. Call 1-800-lung-usa for more information.

We have joined as a partner with National EE Week. National Environmental Education Week is the single largest organized environmental education event in the United States. EE Week increases the educational impact of Earth Day by creating a full week of environmentally-themed lessons and activities in K-12 classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums, and aquariums. Over the span of EE Week 2008 the combined efforts of nearly 1,850 schools, nature centers, museums, zoos, and other educational institutions taught millions of students about the importance of caring for our natural environment.

Many thanks to our friends: Rock Hill Parks & Recreation Environmental Educators!
