Moon Circus
Happy birthday, Carrot!
- Written by: Joe Purdy

Every Day Is Earth Day
My name is Planet Earth, third planet from the Sun. There's other planets out there, but I'm the number one. I'm the place you call your home, so treat me really well. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Conservation sure is swell!
