International Hold Your Breath For One Minute Day

Yesterday was Earth Day.  A day to pause and reflect about our planet, trees, flowers, oceans, kittens, and nature in general.

Build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is believed by many to be a problem.  A serious problem in need of serious solutions, and serious actions.

As a follow-up to Earth Day, today, April 23rd, has been decreed to be International Hold Your Breath For One Minute Day.

Everyone around the world is encouraged to hold in their breath for one minute today at noon to help reduce the build-up of the carbon dioxide greenhouse gas. If you participate, then you too would be able to tell your friends, "I did something to help the earth!"

Don't you want to do something?

Right to Life Oratory Contest

Bennett won 1st place tonight at a pro-life oratory contest at Right to Life of Holland.  Yay!  His speech was about abortion.

Below are some pictures I took with my cellphone (I'd forgotten to bring the good camera).

Here's one of Bennett speaking.

Here's another picture of Bennett speaking, this time with a different stance.

 

He now has the opportunity to give his speech at the statewide competition.  If he were to win that, he would represent Michigan in the national contest.
