For many residents of Madison County it is a time for the renewal of dedication to the preservation and protection of the environment, and the persistance to search for solutions to the environmental problems. April 9 through 15 has been proclaimed "North Carolina Earth Week" by Governor James E. Holshouser, Jr. This week is a time for all North Carolinians to become aware of things each of us can do every day to have a cleaner, more healthy en vironment, and a time for each of us to plan for activities to make our ideas work. "Earth Week" is above all, a time for environmental awareness. This awareness of environmental problems began to capture the American public on April 22, 1970, the first "Earth Day". On that spring day, million of Americans, deeply worried about the threat to their environment from pollution, participated in massive peaceful demonstrations to show their concern. The event was expanded to a full week in 1971 and 1972, and this year, "Earth Week, 1973," is being proclaimed throughout the nation and by more than 30 Governors. But Madison County residents do not have to at tend rallies, march in parades, or hold banners to observe "Earth Week". They can, however, use this week to think about what kind of earth they want their children and grandchildren to have, and begin to work toward those goals. The following activities and projects for "Earth Week" and throughout the year have been suggested by the Environmental Education & Beautification Program : Youth groups can sponsor glass drives and paper drives to clean up the community. Students can make and distribute litterbags throughout the community, and urge their parents and neighbors to use them. Youth groups can also begin a campaign to obtain signatures on anti-litter pledges. Civic groups can work with their local government to organize block cleaning projects and the clearance of vacant lots. Surveys can also be made to find out how much a problem junk cars are in the community, and work to solve the problem. A community appearance commission or city beautification committee can also be organized during the week, with projects sponsored during the whole year. Citizens can insist that tough anti-litter laws, sensible land-use ordinances, zoning regulations, and strict sanitary rules be passed and enforced in the community. There are many other things to be done in Madison County, and throughout North Carolina, and Earth Week may be the time to start some of these ac tivities.
