Earth Day

Mornin'!  Happy Earth Day!  It's 53° in Wildwood NJ.  It's gray and cloudy outside with no breezes to note.  The birds seem happy as they're chirping, squawking and laughing everywhere in the surrounding neighborhoods.  They actually woke me today.   It'll be a mostly cloudy day with some peeks of sun and a 40-50% chance of showers throughout the morning and early afternoon.  Temps will get up into the low 60s with NW breezes at 8-11mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy and temps in the upper 50s with W-NW breezes at 7-9mph.  The chance of rain will drop down to 5-10% chance this evening.  Earth Day is a global event celebrated on this date each year since 1970.  192 countries now take part being the largest civic-focused day of action in the world.  People take part by marching, signing petitions, contacting elected officials, cleaning up their towns and roads, plant trees etc.  Personally, I have a compulsion for plastics lying around the island.  I cannot walk by any plastic debris laying anywhere on the island without picking it up and discarding it properly.  There's no doubt in my mind that it will eventually wind up in the ocean or bay if I don't.  Plastic pollution is destroying our planet.  Once our "high" season begins, there's so much more trash and debris lying around as I urge anyone reading this who visits our island to just simply discard your trash and recycle properly and even take it one more step by picking up the leftover trash (left by someone else who's oblivious to the importance) nearby that's not yours!  Our health and lives depend on it.  Happy Earth Day!
