Happy Earth Day! It’s hard to believe that Earth Day is actually slightly younger than me. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I’m older than a hippie movement? That can’t be right.
Recycle, reuse and reduce! We need to be doing this everyday, though, not just once a year.

Still can't find something to do this weekend in Detroit?
In the spirit of Earth Day I'll recycle some ideas. Head down to Eastern Market on Saturday morning, stroll down the Dequindre Cut, take in the wackiness that is Hamtramck Disneyland, check out the flowers on Belle Isle, or step inside the lobby of the Guardian Building and soak up it's beauty.
