The Earth Day ambassador

I want to give props to my buddy Nick, who was so incensed by the litter on a hiking trail in Scheelite Canyon (Southern Arizona), he decided to take it upon himself to do something about it.

All said and done, Nick filled three backpacks with trash he found strewn about and skewered on cactuses.

Check out his trash booty:


He said the trash could be attributable to illegal immigrants crossing the nearby border.

Nick reminded all who received the e-mail that April 22 is Earth Day, and encourages all to pick up a piece of trash, or, better yet, do as Nick did, and devote some time to cleaning a hiking trail or park.

World Water Day, Earth Hour

A friend tipped me off that today (March 22) is World Water Day.

Check out this Nat Geo photo album (one is above) dedicated to water preservation and awareness.

Also, this Saturday (March 27) at 8:30 p.m., support "Earth Hour" by turning your lights off and not using other energy (unless wind power or some other kind of alternative energy). People are designing lanterns out of different stuff to promote.

Here's a site dedicated to Earth Hour.
