Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

Mill Creek getting back to work
If you live in West Chester Twp., stop by the township’s city services building on West Chester Road, and take a look at what’s going on in the low area across the parking lot. Workers are restoring the flood plain around the Mill Creek, which runs through the area. This is part of work funded in part by grants from the Clean Ohio fund.
When the work is complete, it will mean more for the area than just a pretty green space within sight of the courthouse. The space will play a role in cleaning the creek, and in turn, making water quality between here and Cincinnati a little bit better.
To learn more about the role the creek (and creeks in general) play in regional water systems, take a look at this page produced by the USDA.
And if you’re outside this weekend, make sure to take some time to enjoy a local park, forest, lake or stream.
