B Kind 2 Earth Day With The NWF, Nickelodeon and TheMotherhood.com

Ok, so I’ll come out and say it. I’ve never done anything for Earth Day (I’m ducking). No flinging anything at me. I love planet earth. I mean, I live here, you know? I try and do my part by recycling, turning off the water when I brush my teeth, only lights on in the rooms we’re in, etc.

Now, I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say I think so many people think Earth Day is only for tree huggers, vegetarians, or people who ride out on boats to stop whales from being killed.

Taking care of planet Earth is so much more than that.

I like to look at it from a Christian perspective. God gave us this world to nurture and take care of. Adam was put here for a purpose, and so were we. If we take care of the planet we’ve been given, we will receive so much back from it: clean water, plants that are healthy to consume, landscapes that take our breath away, and the vastness of the water and terra firma that are safe for our kids to play in and on.

So, what’s up my B Kind 2 Earth Day sleeve?

That’s where I’m stumped. I’m not sure what we’ll do in our little neck of the woods. My plan is to go online and do some research with the boys to see what they’d like to do. They’ll be inheriting it from me as they grow up. I want them to know how to take care of Earth as well.

What can you do?

Well, the National Wildlife Federation, Nickelodeon, and TheMotherhood.com are looking for 75 people in every State to “like” B Kind 2 Earth Day on Facebook and all our actions to love, respect and B Kind 2 Earth will add up!
