Wally’s Water Wisdom – 15th Annual Earth Day Celebration

Hi friends! It sure has been a while since we last spoke, but I am back and better than ever with, of course, another exciting update.

IEUA and the city of Chino’s 15^th Annual Earth Day Celebration is right around the corner! That’s right; prepare to head back to the Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park for educational activities, animal encounters, giveaways, and more!

Don’t get me wrong; while it sure does make it fun, Earth Day isn’t all about celebrations. Quick backstory: Earth Day’s story begins in 1970. It may be hard to imagine that before then, a factory could spew black clouds of toxic smoke into the air or dump tons of toxic waste into a nearby stream, and that was perfectly legal. At the time, there was no such thing as the “EPA,” “Clean Air Act,” or even “Clean Water Act.” Recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship, Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day to force this issue onto the national agenda. Guess what? It worked, and 20 million Americans across the U.S. joined in on the effort.

With that being said, IEUA continues to be a huge proponent for environmental stewardship. Not only is it easy to perform small actions that save our earth, ANYONE can be an environmental steward. Stay tuned for my next update to find out how. 😉

In the meantime, make sure to stay up to date with my friends at IEUA through their social media channels, @IEUAwater, for more information on their Earth Day Celebration.

That’s all I have for today, friends! I will see you all very soon with my next drop of water wisdom.

Your friend,

Wally
