What a different Earth Day Birthday for me! The earth is healing, at least, temporarily. I would like to be able to see it from space for comparison from the usual. I read that Everest is visible where it hasn't been for 30 years. What other beauties might we be able to see with the air cleaner and fresher and the rain forest not having to work so hard. Animals are freer to roam when there are no people present. It would be a surprise to see a coyote coming down the street. For me, it was a very slow day. This has allowed me to slow down. It was also a day of rain and hail, the first hail I remember on a birthday so the earth was showing off a bit. It does that in Oklahoma. I am wondering if this will have a lasting effect or will we go back to business as usual when this is over. What will the new normal look like? Will we begin to use less and recycle more? I know that as an American my carbon footprint is larger than many others. What makes sense for me to do? I don't have the answers and often have little interest in studying this, but the current situation bears some thought. Might the Coronavirus save more people since many fewer will be dying from air pollution? What other unintended consequences might we see? --Carolyn
