For this specific journal blog I decided to discuss how Cincinnati
celebrates Earth Day. I used www.CincinnatiEarthDay.com and an article online from channel 9 WCPO news
as references. From the Cincinnati Earth Day website I used pictures, text, and
a video to profile the community-based environmental effort. On Saturday, April
20, 2013, from 12:00 noon until 5:00 pm, Cincinnati will celebrate Earth Day at
Sawyer Point which is located downtown. The organization holds a logo contest
for 7th-12th graders who live in the Cincinnati and
Northern Kentucky region. The winner receives over $100 dollars in prizes, and
their logo will appear on websites and social media. These “incentives” are a
great way to get younger kids involved in the celebration of Earth.

Sponsors for Cincinnati's Earth Day. Advocate groups (not depicited in this photo): Green Cincinnati Education Advocacy, Geilger, Green Bean Delivery, and Gilkey Window Company. (Cincinnati Earth Day)
Earth Day attracts many sponsors.The two main hosts for Earth Day in Cincinnati are the EPA and Greater Cincinnati
Earth Coalition.Global conservationists
such as Walmart, Habitat Defenders: Toyota and Duke Energy, Supporters: Sierra
Club and Natorp’s, and advocate groups all participate in Earth Day. The mission satement of the main host is:The Greater Cincinnati Earth Coalition is a community of not-for-profit
organizations, businesses, government agencies, and individuals from
the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana tri-state region who work cooperatively and
actively to promote the beauty and environmental quality of the
tri-state area (Cincinnati Earth Day). Celebrating Earth Day and demonstrating the important concepts of preservation, is key for a healthy city.
This video of Cincinnati Earth Day 2011 is an excellent example of
the things that take place.There are
many things for children.In addition,
there are demos that relate to the environment/pollution and also interactive learning
exercises.
Channel 9 news wrote
a story regarding the 2012 Earth Day at Sawyer Point.According to Channel 9, “There will also be an environmental awards presentation
recognizing local citizens and businesses who's efforts on behalf of the
environment make Greater Cincinnati a beautiful place to live”(Channel 9 WCPO News). The article depicts the who’s, what’s, when, and where Earth Day 2012
will be.

Really good job! This was an interesting and informative post. Selfishly, I'm so glad that so many students are doing a good job on this journal entry, because I am learning a lot about a community to which I'm a relative newcomer (Cincinnati). I'm glad to have more information about how the community is celebrating Earth Day, and you did a good job pulling all this information together.
The only small critique is that there is no attribution for the video. Otherwise, good job.
