Happy Earth Day to Everyone! Did you read the letter to the editor by Amy Kloubachar in today's Star Tribune? Very well written in my humble opinion. Yeah Amy! She reminds how our air and water was dirty and polluted back in 1970. Changes were made. People got politically active to save our earth and great strides were made. Our air and water are much cleaner now because of the value our citizens placed on our planet. Lets hope our elected officials pull 
their heads out of the sand and do something to protect our earth, our natural resources, and our future. One of the reasons April 22 was chosen to be earth day is that is it the birthday of Julius Sterling M
orton - the founder of Arbor Day. He was an Illinois businessman who loved trees and encouraged people to plant trees. And here's another interesting but virtually useless fact - Julius had a son that he named Joy. Joy, overcoming what had to be a humiliating first name, became a successful businessman who eventually founded the company known by the logo of the little girl with the umbrella - Morton Salt.
