Earth Day ~ 50th anniversary

April 22nd has been Earth Day for 50 years now.  I celebrated the first one on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1970, coming home with a couple of buttons after the event.  Wikipedia says:
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network in more than 193 countries.
Google has an interesting doodle today about bees and, if you click on it, the little bee moves through the trees and flowers, pollinating them.  Be sure to read about the development of the doodle.  That's where I found this little bee dance to share.

In an article headed by the Earth Day 2020 illustrationn above, the Philidelphia Inquirer suggests How to celebrate Earth Day’s 50th anniversary while following stay-at-home orders.  To see what I've posted here about Earth Day over the years, click on the label below or this link.

I loved playing with the Google Doodle yesterday. I'm participating in a study on pollinators so it was timely.
