At Avery Point the Earthday celebrations were yesterday (tree planting, drum circle, giveaways of CFL lights, recycled reusable water bottles, speeches, ice cream, CT DEP demonstrations, hybrid car showings – not bad for a campus of only 500 or so people.
Since today is the more widely recognized day though… a few quick quotes / links
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
