Over the past week or so, we have been asking our staff, customers, vendors, and friends – “What does Earth Day mean to you?” From planting trees to stepping up our recycling efforts, each of us can do our part to keep Mother Earth healthy and clean.
What does Earth Day mean to you? Here is what you told us:
“Every year on Earth Day I always plant a tree! And the last few years I dig in walnuts that fell from trees last year out at our farm!”
Chris Cremer, Vice President of Operations at Harmony Enterprises
“It’s a reminder that no matter how much we #reduce, #reuse and #recycle we can always do more and it takes very little effort.”
PA Resources Council via Twitter @prclitterbug
“Earth day is like a birthday for earth to me. It’s a day to remember to take care of our natural resources and help strengthen our resolve to reduce, reuse and recycle.”
Scott Pugh, Director of Operations for Sparrer Organization (Read their Case Study here)
“Earth day is a day for all of us to remember the environment in our busy lives. A day that reminds us to continue to do the little things that help our environment. Things like turning off the lights, the conservation of energy, plant trees, recycle, reduce, and reuse.”
Ramon Hernandez, Customer Service Manager at Harmony Enterprises
“Our philosophy at ROUND2 is that Earth Day should not be limited to a single day each year but utilized as a national forum to educate and connect with our neighbors and friends to demonstrate the importance of being a responsible citizen. Earth Day isn’t just about batteries or electronics or plastic bottles, it’s about caring for our planet and being stewards of the environment.”

“Earth Day means keep the earth clean and keep the air clean. If you litter, pick up the litter. The earth is like our house.”
Gage Anderson, First Grader
“#earthday means appreciating/preserving our #environment by #recycling #composting & living #green to #MakeADifference 🙂

“I have planted thousands of trees over the last 20 years on Earth day with my family. That’s how I give back to the environment. Everyone needs to give back to the earth to protect our wildlife!”
Larry Nolan, Assembler at Harmony Enterprises
“Earth Day for us in the antique/junk business is all about re-purpose, resell & reuse!”
Old Crow Antiques in Canton, MN via Twitter @OldCrowAntiques
“To me, #EarthDay means a day to make as little impact on the planet as possible. The less we do, the more we celebrate.”
Alex Eaves, Reuse Pro & Environmentalist via Twitter @alexeaves
“Earth day is a day that reminds us to think about where we live and how to protect it for generations to come. We need to recycle our waste rather than bury it in landfills!”
Lana Soppa, Office Manager at Harmony Enterprises
“Earth Day at Werner is a time to reflect on and renew our commitment to clean energy. We are training our internal customers to be aware of the need to recycle whenever possible and to work toward implementing renewable energy solutions to reduce our carbon footprint and to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel sources. We have committed to a Solar PV system on our main corporate facility along with a wind turbine to significantly reduce our overall energy use. We will continue, under the direction of our internal ‘Green Team’, to identify recycling opportunities and implement energy saving initiatives throughout all of our facilities company wide.”
