What did you do on Earth day?


YesterdayThursday was the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, a day meant to increase awareness and activism about the future of our planet and the environment.
As Max’s community post last week pointed out, it can be difficult to talk about the environment and not resort to racist population control rhetoric.
That being said, there are many ways to commemorate Earth day and work to mediate our impact on the environment that are not in conflict with feminist or reproductive justice values. On Earth Day I visited my local farmer’s market, as well as obtaining my first ever seedlings for my first ever gardening adventure.
And speaking of gardens, I’m including a picture I took from a recent tour of the White House garden, specifically of Michelle Obama’s year old organic veggie garden. See after the jump!
