April 22, 2025, is the 55th celebration of Earth Day.  The official website is here.  I’m posting early about this so that there is some advance notice about this important annual observance.

Pat Hamilton’s commentary has been waiting patiently in the wings since I saw it in the Minnesota Star Tribune on January 8, 2025: Hamilton MN Star Tribune Jan 8 2025.  His commentary is very appropriate for Earth Day, worth high-lighting in this year of a million issues….

Pat’s spouse and our friend and this blog list member  J.Drake Hamilton, long-time Managing Director of Science Policy at Fresh Energy, called my attention to Pat’s article.  Fresh Energy merits a close look as well.  It has a long record of advocacy on planet friendly energy issues.  We have financially and otherwise supported the work of Fresh Energy for years.

There are more than adequate words in the above links for your consideration.

Friday morning at my walk the background music brought Louis Armstrong’s Rendition of Wonderful World.  Have a listen and have a great weekend.

POSTNOTE: I have added a postnote and there are several comments at the Protest post.  Please take a look.

I will repost this blog likely early Monday (April 21).  If you wish to add recommended links to this post, just let me know.  It is easy to do.

Have a good Easter, whatever your tradition and wherever you are in the world.
