The 2007 Pharmaceutical Clean sweep is only days away!

The third annual Earth Keeper Clean sweep is Earth Day eve - Saturday April 21 from 9 a.m. until 12 noon local time at free collection sites across Michigan's pristine Upper Peninsula.

The Earth Keeper Team is collecting old and unwanted pharmaceuticals of all kinds at dozens of drop off sites across a 400 mile area of northern Michigan.

I have been thinking a lot lately.

Wow what a big task.

Can we do it.

Should we do it.

It seems unsurmountable - but the Earth Keepers are diverse, dedicated and hardworking - every team member brings something to the effort and each Earth Keeper gives their all.

On Earth Day 2006, we collected 320 tons of old computers and cell phones in only three hours and all were recycled.

We even had old fashioned horses pulling loads of the modern computers that were now out-of date.

That was pretty ironic modern computers turned to junk being pulled away by old fashioned horses.

But sometimes I want to just crawl under my blankets.

And escape from all the world's problems.

You know that feeling.

The worlds problems are just too big for me to fix.

Pollution, global warming, and all that stuff.

It is very scary.

But then I look in the mirror and remember one person - or in my case one cat - can make a difference.

So I have been collecting all my old and unwanted pharmaceuticals to drop off at one of the Earth Keeper collections sites on Saturday April 21, 2007 from 9 am until high noon across northern Michigan..

Anytime you feel you need to hide under your covers.

Remember Willow the Earth Keeper Cat says you can make a difference.

The world is at stake.

I am Willow the Earth Keeper Cat.

Recycle!

History of the April 22 Earth Day

In September 1969, at a conference in Seattle, Washington, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. Senator Nelson first proposed the nationwide environmental protest to thrust the environment onto the national agenda.” "It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."

Five months before the first April 22 Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill reporting on the rising tide of environmental events:  read more »

Earth Day

Earth Day is one of two observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. A second Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22.
