Tonight, Neil and I were invited by our neighbor, Tina, to attend her son’s 1st grade Earth Day play! What a wonderful treat to be among children; excited, energized, noisy and happy. They were about to show us their Earth Day play. Aris played “Earth”-polluted, trashed and just plain abused by the other “humans” on stage. But in the distance, one could hear the “small voices” who convinced the others to clean up “Earth” and stop polluting!
It was not only a cute 20 minute play but a great reminder of how our current living habits are destroying this future generation’s environment. The refrain of one of the songs was “earth day”, “earth year” and “earth living.” Although the actors did not fully understand the consequences of “earth living” , the people sitting in the audience did.
Great play, great job, great message! Congratulations Aris and classmates!
