We live on such a beautiful planet. And I love that we have a day to celebrate the beauty and wonder of our Earth, and pledge to clean it up and care for it better.
Last Friday, Sophie's Jr. High school sponsored an Earth Day clean-up of our island. Scores of students descended upon the roads and parks to pick up garbage. As a whole, the kids managed to clean up most of the island.

The girls I chaperoned actually had a fun afternoon. Who knew that trash collecting could be fun? But walking outside in the sunshine probably beats sitting in class. I'm sure they'll never look at garbage in quite the same way again, and as we traverse the roads around our island, things do look spruced up. Job well done!!
