EARTH WEEK!

Earth Week is upon us!

I really want to encourage everyone to GO OUT INTO YOUR COMMUNITIES this week!

Only together can we make a difference. This week, we need to collaborate as a species to help protect our home. We truly have such a beautiful home!!! Lets keep it that way!

Ways to help out this week:
-Plant a tree
-Cleanup/Restore; lakes, beaches, rivers, trails, communities
-Create a pledge board in your office or home so that everyone can make an environmental pledge for the year
-Attend an environmental fair or parade in honor of Earth Day
-Invite a local politician to your environmental event and have them discuss local environmental issues with people in your community
-Organize a walk-a-thon in honor of an environmental issue

There are so many things you can do this week!

Another really great thing to do this week is to go and see Disney Nature's: Oceans
It comes out on Thursday and if you see it during opening week they will donate part of the proceeds to help save coral reefs!

If you are in the area and would like to attend an event that I will be at I encourage you to do so! I would be so thrilled to see everyone there!

On Thursday I will be in Winter Park from 10-2pm for their Earth Day Celebration. Come out to be part of the Tree Planting Ceremony and other great Earth Day Activities. Then on Thursday night from 8-10 pm I will be attending a drum circle at Shine on Yoga in Downtown Orlando which is an Earth Week activity sponsored by the City of Orlando.

Then on Saturday is the annual "Central Florida Earth Day" festival. The event will be held at Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando from 10-6pm. There will be TONS of Earth Friendly vendors and plenty of activites for people of all ages.

I will be speaking on the Youth Panel at 11 am so be sure to stop by :)

Thanks to everyone who will be out this week making a difference!

With Love,
