April 22nd, 2010. The 40th birthday of Earth Day. Every year at Stamford Collegiate, we take part in Earth Day festivities, and this year was no different. To start the beautiful morning of April 22nd (Earth Day) off, we had an assembly, outlining different reasons and ways to help the Earth. After this beautifully set assembly, we all set out to our period two classes to take part in enviromental activities. These activites ranged from picking up and sorting garbage from various locations to painting a mural outside the school. All of theses activities were designed and the staff and students of Stamford Collegiate enthusiactically engaged in helping the enviorment.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pierce's period two class had signed up to pick up garbage along the Lundy's Lane area. I worked with four other students, cleaning up the area, focusing mainly on garbage and cigarette butts. We had covered the area from Burger King to Gino's, and ended up with two full bags of garbage, and two overflowing baggies of ciagette butts. The worst part of all this was that there was still a lot of garbage remaining.
Participating in picking up garbage in local areas, areas that we use and walk by everyday, can really open up your eyes to all of the filth that covers our naturally beautiful Earth. Our Earth has a natural beauty to it and is created to accomodate all living creatures, big and small. How are all of these living organisms supposed to continue to live if surrounded and overcome by garbage, as well as pollution?
That is where we step in. We, as human beings, have the ability to improve the life of our planet. We have the power to make a positive change to our planet, and it is up to us to introduce that change. The staff and students of Stamford Collegiate have done an excellent job at introducing, and maintaining this positive change to our enviorment.
We are the ones who can change the world, we are the ones who can make a difference, we are the ones who can restore the Earth to its natural beauty. Together, Stamford Collegiate has made an exceptional impact on the enviroment, and will continue to do so for years to come.
