Happy Earth Day, Happy Arbor Day, David Archuleta and fans! Today we celebrate Mother Earth and all the trees and plants that help sustain Life. Earth Day and Arbor Day working together for a healthier planet! It’s a good combination, especially because Julius Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day, was born on April 22, 1832.
David Archuleta’s home town of Murray, Utah, plans to combine Earth Day and Arbor Day with a celebration on Friday, April 29. The opening ceremony begins at noon at the Murray Park Amphitheater with the presentation of Murray’s 33rd consecutive Tree City USA Award. If you live near Murray, contact the Forestry Division at 801-264-2703 for more information. David has done his part to earn the Tree City distinction for his home town. In November 2008 he and a few friends planted 180 trees and shrubs for his Eagle Scout badge.
Like many U.S. states, David’s home state of Utah has tips to help save the Earth.
These are just a few things we can do:
- Calculate your greenhouse gas emissions.
- Take the Ecological Footprint Quiz
- Adopt a Utah Waterbody (Does your state have such a program?)
- Plant a tree or two…or 180!
