save our earth.

Happy Earth Day everyone! I think it is wonderful that there is a day every year dedicated to helping our Earth. However, I wish that people would follow the motto that "Every day is Earth day!" On Saturday, April 19, 2008, the South Medford High School Bio-diesel Club had a booth and presented at the Earth Day Celebration in Ashland. It was a great success. It was very touching for me personally to see so many people come together who wanted to learn, who wanted to educate others, and help the environment. At our booth, we had examples of bio-diesel, lye, methanol, glycerin, and the different kinds of soaps that we are making from the excess glycerin. It was really quite amazing to me to see just how many people were interested in bio-diesel. Everyone seemed to think it was a good idea. Everyone seemed to have only positive things to say about bio-diesel. They either wanted to learn more or they wanted to know how they could use it. People wanted us to do more demonstrations or they wanted us to personally help them set up their own equipment so that they could start making bio-diesel. I took a moment to walk around and look at all the other presentations. There were lots of great people trying to do their part in helping our planet and also working to get others involved. I hope there are more educational opportunities like the Earth Day Celebration, where people will be able to come together and share their knowledge. Please support and promote bio-diesel. Please educate others about how they can help protect our only home. Please do your part in helping to save our Earth.
