Earth Day Tribulations or is that Jelly Beans

Tue 4/22 Blog Prompt: Take your pick: Write about Earth Day or National Jelly Bean Day (or both).

Earth Day is one of two different observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. A second Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. politician Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in the late 1960s, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22. ~Wikipedia

Thanks for sharing the info about earth day and comparing it with different hemispheres. I'm not sure I really knew how it got started.
