Today people all over the world took some part in Earth Day. The First Earth Day started in April of 1970, spearheaded by Senator Gaylord Nelson. It was his concern over the years of how little the environment played a role in the nation's political circles. Many of the country's citizens realized how the environment was degrading through the misuse of it's natural resources. The effects of society's advancement was taking it's toil on the land, lakes, rivers and air. People realized that if something wasn't done to reverse or alter these harmful effects that eventually the sources would no longer be there. It started off as a grassroots movement that astonished the Senator as he didn't have the time or resources to organize the 20 million demonstrators nor the thousands of schools and communities that took part. Since that first year it has blossomed into a worldwide event. What did you or your community do to contribute to Earth Day, our most precious source?
Let's take Green Tea for example and does it help you to lose weight? Recent studies show that it does as toted by some of the experts out there. Perhaps it does and will for you if you use in the way it is supposed to be. Steeped in a cup of boiling water and drunk naturally not with the added sugar and milk or cream. Like many other ways to lose weight, they are a never ending losing battle because of all the extra added ingredients to make something taste rather exciting and not so bland. But I don't mind Green Tea plain... but take the great Potato for instance... what would it be like without a dab of butter. ketchup, sour cream, salt and pepper or grated cheese. Bland and uneatable.
Ever go to a mall after several months or a year of not being there? Only to find that all the familiar places such as shows, eating places and shops are no longer there. Shows you the ever changing city that we live in. Wandering aimlessly around a mall to find the perfect gift only to find that the sale items on clothing are almost in non existent sizes. Getting knocked about by the steady rush of people moving through the aisles, or around the salespeople trying to steer you in what they hope is the right direction. Living in a big cosmopolitan city, going to the big malls is a challenge in itself, not like when you were younger, light on the feet and more spring in your step. Old familiar places some are there, some are gone. Restructuring and remodeling, some good ideas and some not so good. Shows you the ever changing city that we live in, some old familiar places long forgotten long gone, still come to mind. What changes have you seen at your fav mall?
Wish some people/corporations would update their websites. Peeves me off a bit to run around town to go to a show only to find out that the theatre closed down in January, although the movie and theatre is still listed as being there. With the cost of gas on the rise, time and money was a bit wasted today. Got to see the movie at another part of town so I guess it was okay. What is your pet peeve?
Went and seen prom night tonight. Got in before 6 so it was matinee prices but the price of stuff at the foodstand was well UNBELIEVABLE! Five fifty for a buttered popcorn and three dollars for a bottle of water. Next time I think I will load up my pockets with cookies and snacks and also some small juicers.I thought it was a very good movie, scary yet a story of somewhat behind it. Not like most of the newer slash gore movies, where the killing is fast and furious and so similar. If you like horror movies go and see this one. What movies have your seen recently?
