Welcome to BoomSpress.
Thanks for surfing in!
Once again we celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. Hard to believe that the first Earth Day celebration was 40 years ago. I was still in high school and as an aging Boomer remember the day better than yesterday - big morning assembly of lofty and serious presentations. Every class, even advanced math, started with small discussions and solicitations for resolutions to clean up our act. The word 'Ecology' entered our vocabulary and recycling, biodegradable, ozone-friendly became the buzz words for the next few years. Ironically, when the US government required catalytic converters and the use of lead-free gas in 1972 for all cars, nobody was happy about paying the extra cost.
So here we are 40 years later facing many of the same problems and not always happy about the price. Now that we have figured our how to calculate carbon footprints (the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event or product), seems like every possible solution presents other challenges in either price, time or space. What to do? Maybe our great grandchildren will figure it out.
Onward & Upward,
Paula
