Woohoo! Its National Jelly Bean
Day!
Jelly beans are “a small bean-shaped type of confectionery with a hard candy shell
and a gummy interior which come in a wide variety of flavors.” Turkish delight
is actually the inspiration for these little sugary nuggets! Jelly beans first
appeared in 1861, in the United States. Jelly beans are often associated with
Easter today, but this didn’t become so until the 1930s.
It is also Earth Day, a day created to
bringing environmental awareness. Earth Day began in 1970, headed by John
McConnell and Gaylord Nelson. Today it is celebrated in over 192 countries
around the world! For more information, check out any number of Earth Day
sites!
Need a way to celebrate Earth
Day? Why not show of some super sweet dance moves! As part of my Environmental
and Sustainability Studies program banquet, a set of dance moves were created.
We filmed a few of us bustin’ a move, and made a short video pleading for
scholarship funding. Please help by spreading the video!
