Tomorrow is Record Store Day & Earth Day so I will do my best to hit both topics for us! 

First off, Record Store Day is a big deal for those that collect or just like to have timeless vinyl for the sake of their favorite band. So when did RSD get started? 

This annual event began in 2007 and is typically held on the third Saturday of April and every black Friday. Many records are pressed and released specifically for RSD and distributed to shops that participate in the event. This year I am going to Blackbird Records in Medina to get my hands on a few I have in mind. 

This event is great to bring fans and artists together at their local record store… SUPPORT LOCAL! 

Tomorrow is also Earth Day! First held April 22 1970, proposed by San Francisco peace activist, John McConnell, to honor the Earth and promote peace among everyone. Originally, they wanted to celebrate on March 21st as it’s the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. However, later it was proposed that the nation hold environmental “teach-ins” on April 22nd and it stuck. 

You can get involved in your communities year round, not just on Earth Day.
I personally do my part by reusing items I already have, using less plastic and recycling if it comes to that. 

Simple changes make me feel like I’m making a difference, at least for my personal footprint. I switched from body wash to bar soap, from loofahs to washcloths, using old towels as rags to clean instead of paper towels. Very small I know but it feels like I am helping even a little bit. 

So get out there, get your favorite records, support local AND let’s take care of our Mother Earth, we don’t get a planet B. 

Take care of yourself and have a great weekend!

Love always, Carrie Danger
