Make May Merry

Jensperspectiveblog 1 Comment

May is the fifth month of the year in the Gregorian and its predecessor, the Julian calendar. Named after the Greek goddess, Maia who is also identified Bona Dea (the Roman goddess of fertility), May is the time of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, May is a season of Autumn.

Originally the third month of the year, May later moved to the fifth month when January and February were added to the calendar. It contains 31 days.

Weather & Seasons

The fifth month is also the last month of Spring. Sоmе Nаtіvе Amеrісаn tribes called the Mау full moon Thе Full Flоwеr Mооn, The Cоrn Plаntіng Mооn or thе Mіlk Mооn.

Those born in may fall under either the Earth sign Taurus (the bull) or Gemini (the twins). Their birthstone is the beautiful emerald which comes in shades of green. The flower for May is the Lily of the Valley which represents purity, motherhood, humility, chastity and sweetness.

May is also full of myths and superstitions, like these:

  • Tо mаіntаіn a youthful арреаrаnсе аnd еnhаnсе уоur beauty, wаѕh уоur fасе іn thе dеw уоu collect оn thе morning оf thе fіrѕt of Mау.
  • Mаrrу іn Mау, уоu’ll ruе thе day. It іѕ соnѕіdеrеd vеrу bad luсk tо gеt mаrrіеd іn Mау; реrhарѕ because it іѕ соnѕіdеrеd bу ѕоmе tо bе the wеddіng mоnth of thе God аnd Goddess аnd іt wоuld bе vеrу rudе tо upstage them.
  • Wash a blаnkеt іn Mау, уоu’ll wаѕh a dеаr one away. It is bad luck to wаѕh уоur blаnkеtѕ in May оr tо buу a new broom.
  • According to оnе ѕuреrѕtіtіоn, сhіldrеn bоrn this mоnth wіll be sickly аll thеіr lіvеѕ аnd саtѕ bоrn this month won’t catch mісе, but mіght bring snakes into the hоuѕе.

Good weather in May іѕ nоt necessarily a gооd thіng.
A wеt Mау brіngѕ a bіg lоаd оf hay.
A соld Mау іѕ kіndlу and fіllѕ thе bаrn finely.
Mist іn Mау аnd heat іn June makes hаrvеѕt соmе rіght soon.

NATIONAL EARTH DAY

Jensperspectiveblog 2 Comments

Each year on April 22nd, National Earth Day campaigns around the globe promote ways to save the Earth. 

Since its inception, the organizers promote events educating the public about a variety of subjects including:

  • climate change
  • air pollution
  • water pollution
  • erosion
  • recycling
  • composting
  • renewable fuels and power
  • carbon footprints
  • efficient cars
  • rain forests
  • ecosystems

As citizens of the world, we can take actions protecting the Earth, its creatures and their habitats. Greener living can include more fuel-efficient vehicles or windows. It can also include landscaping for your climate reducing the amount of water required.

I know here in Florida, there are quite a few place encouraging solar panels. They can reduce your carbon footprint and in some cases save you some money too. Our power company also gives an option to get our electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

The best idea I’ve seen are solar panels you can drive on… imagine replacing roads and parking lots with something like this. Retail giants could take advantage of this technology and make thier parking lots this way. I hope to see this perfected and more cost effective. We would love to do this to our long driveway.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalEarthDay

Celebrate by engaging in Earth Day activities in your area. Ways to participate include:

  • Support and use recycling programs in your community. 
  • Volunteer to clean up local parks and streets on clean up days. 
  • Support and frequent green businesses.
  • Use re-usable products versus disposable.
  • Repurpose items that have outworn their use.
  • Shop secondhand and thrift stores for gently used items.
  • Use energy-efficient appliances or line dry your clothes. 
  • Walk or ride your bike to work if possible.
  • Carpool or make one trip instead of multiple trips for shopping.
  • Encourage your favorite products to reduce packaging.

The ultimate test of man’s conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something
today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. ~ Gaylord Nelson – Founder of Earth Day

Numerous green campaigns launch events around the globe each year. Join one near you or organize one that fits your community needs. Be sure to register the event, too!  For example, check out One Square Inch of Silence. Founded on Earth Day in 2005, it encourages you to participate in expanding naturally silent spaces around the globe.

Share your Earth Day experiences and join the conversation using #EarthDay on Social Media.

NATIONAL EARTH DAY HISTORY

In 1969, the concept of Earth Day was established at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco. On March 21, 1970, a sanctioned Proclamation was signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later, on April 22, 1970, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day. While National Earth Day is not considered a national holiday we encourage you to learn more.

Environmentalists held rallies in large cities around the country. The observance became a global event in 1990 and hasn’t stopped since.
