I'm looking forward to this event in so much excitement! =)
But moreover, I think that we should celebrate earth day every day, through eco-friendly acts and sharing awareness with others. Through being eco-friendly active, collaboration and our collective thoughts, we will make a big difference that will benefit us all and the life giving planet that we live in. =)
Since my and my buddies can't attend this event, we're doing our share by cleaning our local lake on the 17th and we will be holding a mini-boat racing event the day after. Hope that more people out there will also do their share!
I am kind of disappointed of not being there!
