EARTH DAY FAQ's
​When is Earth Day?
Earth Day is honored around the world on April 22nd every year.  This year it falls on a Saturday so there will be many local festivities, rallies and other events.
Why is Earth Day Important?
Earth Day broadens the base of support for environmental programs, rekindles public commitment and builds community activism around the world through a broad range of events and activities.
 
How Did Earth Day Get Started?
In the aftermath of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara California in 1969, Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, announced a "national teach-in on the environment" and put together a team to support events across the country.  Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work.

20 million Americans participated in that 1st Earth Day, at 2,000 colleges and universities, about 10,000 schools and 100's of communities. This day of activism lead to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts.  
Earth Day Went Global in 1990.
200 Million people in 141 countries joined forces to call attention to environmental issues.  Today, over a billion people participate in over 192 countries, making it "the largest secular holiday in the world", according to Denis Hayes, who organized the 1st Earth Day.

The True Meaning of Autism Awareness Month

The phrase “Autism Awareness and Acceptance” can elicit many feelings, and today, I would challenge us all to consider what it truly means. What follows is a summary of some of the lessons learned from some of the most capable, loving, devoted and remarkable parents. These lessons apply not only to autistic children, but all children.

AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE IS TO BE OPEN, TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO BE KIND.
Give a smile to the mom in the grocery store whose child is tantrumming over the candy bar that she’s so desperately managing to keep him from. Invite the child with autism to your child’s birthday party and make sure that those parents know that their child is genuinely welcome—whether it be for five minutes, for an hour or maybe hopefully, the entire time. If a child falls apart in your presence, ask that parent, “what can I do to make this better for you?”
Ask questions. Reserve judgment. Don’t assume you know more than you do.

Give your friend a hug or the squeeze of your hand when their child has the bravery to make it through a school performance. Be there for her with a shoulder to lean on, in her isolation, when he does not. Teach your children about inclusivity, that it is not merely a concept or an accommodation but a lesson in how we treat others. It is a horrible feeling to be excluded and there are gifts of friendship to be found in all of us. Acceptance is not simply to tolerate one another but to value our differences and to recognize the strengths that lie within all people.

EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENCES. ALL PEOPLE MATTER.
Work harder to reach out. Be kind. Teach your kids about the act of kindness and that kindness benefits everybody. Know that kindness needs to be taught and continuously reinforced. Be proactive to affect change. Imagine what you would want if the tables were turned.

Stand up for the rights of all people, whether your child is “neurotypical,” “quirky,” “special needs,” “disabled,” “differently abled,” different,” or any label. A label does not even begin to tell the whole story about a child, their family or, their strength in love.
