Cuba, Missouri is our part of the earth to manage.
Mother Theresa said We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” On Earth Day we can think of that philosophy in relation to our part of the planet. We can do small things greatly.
*It’s easy to google conservation and get lists of ideas. Better yet, let your kids google for ideas and talk about some of the ideas with them. Kids study these topics in school, and they are often the leader in the conservation project.
*Today, pick up some trash, clean up your yard, do something that makes your little corner of the planet better. Use your cloth bag when you go to the store. I have so many of them, but I have trouble remembering them. You can recycle cans in Cuba without a lot of trouble.
*Join Viva Cuba’s Adopt-A-Street Program for an ongoing effort to keep Cuba clean. Or the state has an Adopt-A-Highway plan if that is more appropriate for you.
Join the Adopt-A-Street Program to showcase your business or organization on the site of a cleaner street.
*Don’t litter and teach your children not to litter. Put fast-food wrappers and containers and candy wrappers in a trash can or bag.
*Participate in Viva Cuba’s May 7 Trash Bash. Gather at the Viva Cuba Garden at 8:00 am. Show up to clean up.
Trash bags and safety vests are available for Trash Bash participants.
Keep it local and keep it clean. And green.
