April 22 is coming up. There are all kinds of activities in most areas to celebrate. You can do a search on Google to find events in your area, or use the search on EarthDay.net.

When I searched the San Diego area, where I live, there were two pages of results on the Earth Day site. I don’t get to attend any, though – company’s in town and we have a family get together.

But that doesn’t mean I have to miss out on the idea of Earth Day. I can talk to my children about conservation or find something special to do with them.

Of course, having only one car in the family limits my ability to take my kids anywhere anyhow. It’s good and bad – we miss out on some great educational opportunities, but my children are learning that you don’t have to have two cars in a family to get along.
