Earth Day Celebrates 49th Year!
Yes, can you believe it? 49 years? Doesn't is seem like it wasn't really that long ago that it started?As Wisconsinites, we can be proud that Earth Day was born right here, the brainstorm of our
US Senator Gaylord Nelson to make citizens of the world appreciate and inspire awareness of the environment.We have surely gone through phases since the first Earth Day, back in 1970. Then and now, conserving energy was a hot topic....in the middle of the 49 years, that concern for the environment and our natural resources waned. While incomes grew, and our convenience was more important than saving any resources!
We went from wrapping our water heaters with giant blankets on the outside, to unseen super thick insulation on their insides.This Earth Day, we are on a new mission to make EVERYTHING green! From all of our building materials,including siding, paint, carpet and flooring. Even lawn food and weed killer, appliances, to clothing (yes I have socks made from bamboo!)even cleaning materials for the home.
Can you believe a quality we look for in paint is "low emission"...that used to be automotive speak.So celebrate the environment today, and take stock of what you can do to extend the life of our world, and quality of life for your family!
