Earth Day Announcement
April 20, 2008 – 1:04 am by Daniel JosephsBack in 1970 Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin, called for a day when we should recognize our impact on our environment - 20 million people participated.
Now, almost 40 years later, over 500 million people and 175 countries observe a day that not only recognizes our environment, but this day holds us accountable for the total impact that we have on our planet. This day, April 22nd, is known as Earth Day.
In recognition of Earth Day, Spruce Industries will be donating two blue spruce trees on Tuesdsay April 22nd, 2008. The first tree will be donated to the James Caldwell Elementary School in Springfield, NJ. Hank Josephs, the president of Spruce Industries, attended this school and learned the importance of teamwork, participation and community. The second tree will be donated to the Oak Ridge Heights #21 Elementary School in Colonia, NJ. Linda McGowan, a purchasing agent for Spruce Industries, was a student at Oak Ridge Heights and wants to make sure that her family and her generation have the same clean air and landscape that she was privy to while growing up.
