Earth Day<\/h1>\n

I saw a small sign for \u201cEarth Day\u201d on my way to work, so I looked into it.
\n\u201cEarth Day\u201d is considered as \u201cthe day of the planet earth,\u201d when the people take action in order to protect the environment worldwide. The United States Senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson made a declaration on April 22, 1970 about the severe ecological problems of the earth, and promoted activities to protect the environment.
\nThe earth, where we live, was born 4,600,000,000 years ago. If I put 4 billion and 600 million years as 1 year, the era of human beings is equivalent to the moment of New Year\u2019s Eve turning into the New Year. Since then, we have developed our cultures within a second, or the blink of an eye, and we have destroyed the natural environment, which is supposed to be our base.
\nProtecting the natural environment is the big theme of Earth Day, but I believe there are small things we can do in our own lives.<\/p>\n

How are your parking manners?!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JLSP is assigned a specific group of parking spaces according to the contract with FCS. However, sometimes we find some parents\u2019 cars parked on a prohibited grass area, or on a neighborhood street, which causes complaints from the neighbors. FCS checked the parking situation the other day, and they reported the plate numbers of cars parked on the street, including some JLSP members. If there is no space to park at FCS, we have a contract to park at Lankenau Hospital parking lot. It is possible to lose our contract with FCS as a schoolhouse if these incidents continue to occur. Please be conscious about your parking manners.<\/p>\n
