Being part of the world’s largest airline offers many opportunities to have a positive impact on the world. Delta employees never cease to amaze me with their dedication and willingness to volunteer. This Earth Day, we continue to have much to be proud about.
Delta volunteers took on many beautification projects at the park, including repairing fences, improving hiking trails, and pouring over 2000 lbs of concrete to make a pad for recycling containers at the park.
Our colleagues in Minneapolis are doing a similar beautification project at Pilot Knob Hill, national historic site near the Minneapolis airport.
In the last few weeks, Delta was recognized by the Atlanta Business Chronicle with a “Green Save” award for its efforts in water-conservation and recycling both on aircraft and at its campuses.
Awards are nice, but working for a company where people step up to be an active part of their community is very rewarding. Our customers engage in many programs as well.
Now that we are larger, we have many opportunities in front of us to do even more. Learn more about how you can help from last year’s blog post from Jennifer: Tips for making every day Earth Day.
Enjoy Earth Day 2009! Think about what you can do to help us make a difference!

Every year, my school goes to Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City for Earth Day, where we do things like plant flowers and trees, pick up trash, and other “green” service activities. The 11th grade science classes get to go down to the boat launch next to the park and take samples of the water in the East River - wearing waders, of course! We then all have lunch and enjoy the park and the art it hosts.
