Earth Day - April 22nd represents a worldwide holiday...Earth Day! This is an important event and one we should all participate in. One way to spread the word is to tell others about cloth diapers and their environmental advantages. You can also plant a tree in your yard in observance of this important day.

Here are instructions on how to plant a tree in your backyard on Earth Day:

Determine what type of tree you are going to plant and where. Choose a sapling, but do not soak it prior to planting. You don’t have to remove the burlap that encases the sapling, but do remove the ties. Open the burlap sapling and clip the roots which circle the outer part of the root ball. Dig a hole two to five times wider than the root ball.  In the bottom and center of the hole, leave a planting base of undisturbed soil. Put the root ball on undisturbed soil flush to two inches over the top of the hole. Hold the tree while backfilling with dirt and soil. Remove grass and weeds within six inches of tree material. With excess soil, build a small boarder around the hole to add water down to the roots; then water and mulch.

“Earth Day was firmly established for all time on a sound basis as an annual event to deepen reverence and care for life on our planet.” Mr. John McConnell - Earth Day founder.
