Full Moon In June is the Solstice, too!

This is the first full moon in the sign of Sagittarius to fall on the June solstice since the year 1967!





According to Earth Sky News,  although the full moon and solstice happen at the same instant all around the world, the clock reading differs by time zone. At U.S. time zones, the moon turns precisely full on June 20 at 7:02 a.m. EDT, 6:02 a.m. CDT, 5:02 a.m. MDT and 4:02 a.m. PDT. 

This June Moon has many names in ancient cultures.  Ancient Full Moon Names for June are: Moon When Berries Are Ripe, the Dyan Moon, Moon of Horses, Planting Moon, Windy Moon, Green Corn Moon, Lotus Moon and Rose Moon.  Think about those while you view this special moon!

Recycling A Concept Almost 100 Years Old

World War Two Made A Huge Effort To Encourage Us To Scrap It!

A Unique Collection of US WW2 Poster for the Conservation and Recycle Efforts

WW2 Posters Encouraging Scrapping and Conservation

According to the National WW2 Museum, Persuading Americans to support the war effort became a wartime industry, just as important as producing bullets and planes. The U.S. government produced posters, pamphlets, newsreels, radio shows, and movies. Part of that effort was to  get citizens to conserve resources and contribute to the shortage of much needed items such as metals.

This effort was not just for the US but countries like the UK as well.
Some pretty creative images followed world wide as people were encouraged to reuse and conserve many everyday items.  Here are some from the US created by the Office of War Information (OWI):
