Speak Out about Earth Day


On a warm, sunny Earth Day in the Public Garden, people filled the park. Some did not know that it was Earth Day or had no plans to celebrate. Even those who knew did not make special activities.

Allison Goldin

“I totally forgot about Earth Day. For most people it means nothing. I think everyone should think about the earth every day, mostly now because of global warming.”

Brandon Crose

“I spent my lunch outside to celebrate Earth Day. I think it’s a noble endeavor to acknowledge the earth.”

Junior Gustavo

“I knew it was coming up but I didn’t know it was today. I think Earth Day should be more than one day.”

Arnold Oosterveld

“It’s a good thing. It makes people aware.”

While many of us would like to contribute to Earth Day, there isn't much promotion for the event.I personally, was unaware it was Earth day until this afternoon, just like Junior Gustavo. Today is also a working day, so most people aren't free to contribute to projects or even enjoy the outdoors. Instead we are left thinking about the Earth, while we work in small windowless cubicles.
