Today we celebrate:

National Jelly Bean Day – I, for one, love jelly beans. I always have them in the house around Easter time, they don't last long so I don't have anymore but since it's a special day, I think I'll get some more.

Earth Day – This year the theme is about the Faces of Climate Change and they will feature related images at thousands of events throughout the world. http://www.earthday.org/2013/

Chemists Celebrate The Earth Day – This is a day for chemists, chemistry teachers and chemistry students to show the world the positive role that chemistry plays in saving the environment for future generations.

Girl Scout Leader Day – This is a day of appreciation for all the volunteers who work with the Girl Scouts as leaders or mentors. The organization could not exist without all of these wonderful helpers.

In God We Trust” Day – On this day in 1956, President Eisenhower signed a law declaring “In God We Trust” to be our nation's motto.

International Mother Earth Day – This day is all about recognizing our responsibility to promote harmony and balance with nature and the Earth to meet the social, economic and environmental needs of our future generations.

To celebrate today, gather all of the Girl Scouts in your troop (or borrow a troop if you don't personally have one) and give them jelly beans to snack on as you help them help the earth by cleaning garbage in playgrounds and on the side of the road. Then you can take all that garbage and find a chemist who can teach them how to chemically alter that garbage into fuel for the vehicles you will one day create if you trust in God enough.
