Dear Eleni,

You're all encouraged to attend Atlanta's Earth Day event. Please pay particularly close attention to the kind of impact you'll make on Waldron Park. Ideally, we hope you don't leave any impression at all, especially in the form of discarded wrappers and paper cups. It wouldn't look too good if we, the espousers of environmentally friendly living, were to make a mess of Waldron Park.

Remember to recycle.

You'll be receiving lots of published information like flyers, pamphlets, posters, brochures, and other miscellaneous printed items. To be safe, take only items you want to save. Or, when you've read enough, pass along the literature to a green friend.

Remember to leave your car home.

You'll waste your time and gas trying to get through the grid lock. Last year, the average car idled 45 minutes in Earth Day related traffic. We'll all breathe a little easier if you go mass transit.

Remember to put litter in its place.

You know better than to leave your trash for somebody else to pick up. But it's amazing how forgetful we can be in a crowd. This reminder might be somewhat absurd to you, and we wouldn't feel it necessary to mention it, except last year the clean up job amounted to $350,000 and an estimated 1/2 ton of garbage.

Sincerely,

Juan Acevedo
