by Theo Giordano Happy Earth Day! Or perhaps we should celebrate it as Universe Day; after all, shouldn't our Earth’s delicate positioning within this vast universe illustrate to us how we are all connected? Newton said that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is this law that should remind us that our actions do have consequences - here on earth - and within our universe.
So, in the spirit of reinvention, let’s take a fresh approach to an important day, reflecting upon all things that affect our earth. As April 22 draws closer, think of as many earth friendly - and universe friendly - things you can do to celebrate this most important event. And, remember, just one random act of kindness extended to our Earth, or our Universe, will be returned to us; Newton proved this theory, and we must recognize it and pay tribute to it on this special day.
1. Take a walk: on the beach, in a park, or visit your rooftop garden; appreciate all that nature has to offer.
2. Schedule ahead to view the sunset: plan accordingly so that wherever you are, pause, take a deep breath, and behold its beauty.
3. Bicycle for a day: Give up your car and public transportation.
4. Do cartwheels in the park: a metaphorical one will do, if necessary, to celebrate our place on earth.
5. Plant a seed, or tree: focus on sweet william, columbine, a mimosa - or any others that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees (they all serve an important role).
6. Enjoy a picnic lunch, anywhere: the beach, a park bench, library or town hall lawn, patio, or deck - remembering to gather all debris afterwards, even if it isn't yours.
7. See the world through the eyes of a furry or feathered friend (a robin or blue jay, a squirrel, a raccoon, or kitty): try imagining life from their perspective, recognizing the significance of a basking sun, the health of a neighboring tree, or beauty of an ocean shore.
8. Walk barefoot outdoors: connect with the earth’s inner magnetic core and appreciate the place we hold within this magnificent universe, as well as the delicate balance that exists between Earth and all the other planets.
9. Stargaze: locate a guide to help you identify all the stars, either with the naked eye, binoculars, or telescope.
10. Make a modest donation to a nature reserve or National Park.
These are just a few ideas on how you could observe Earth Day. The important thing is that you do take a moment and celebrate. Enjoy the day! Copyright 2009 Theo Giordano
Nice ideas Theo! I do pretty much all of those. I like to walk, ride my bike, plant seeeds, and I enjoy nature -- hey I'm cool!

Wow! BoB. Well, I did assume the strong possibility that Drew watched an internet copy of the movie. I did not accuse, but I did sort of imply that just to be concise. I have a tendency to say too much and preamble too much. I could have said "If you mean "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"..." and "If you are a human being..." and "If you live in the United States...". Or, I could have asked these questions first and waited and then commented. But I was trying to keep it to a short informative comment, so I made a few assumptions.
If you notice, I did not comment on the quality of the movie. The special effects issue is fairly common knowledge, but not known by all. I was just trying to inform others, and maybe Drew, about that problem. I guess that'll teach me to try and contribute.
