Friday the 2nd of April is Good Friday, this day commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate, believed to have taken place on April 1st AD33.

To avoid direct reference to Christianity, Good Friday is sometimes referred to as Spring Holiday. Most financial markets and some other businesses close on Good Friday (which is a state holiday in many states). Spring Sunday is also referred to as Easter Sunday. The Christians believe that on this day the resurrection of Jesus occurred.

For Christians, Easter is a day of religious services and the gathering of family. Many Americans follow the traditions of hard boiled eggs and giving children baskets of candy.
On the next day, Easter Monday, the President of the United States holds an annual Easter egg roll on the White House lawn for young children. The holiday is also often celebrated as a nonsectarian spring holiday and not generally observed by most businesses as it always falls on a Sunday. Roman Catholic and Protestant groups celebrate Easter on a different Sunday (most years) than Orthodox groups.

Here are some ideas found on the Internet about Easter customs and traditions in USA, what do you think?

• It was in the early 1700’s, when for the first time, eggs were dyed and the credit for starting this practice in America can be attributed to Pennsylvania Dutch (German) settlers.

Nowadays there is a push to recycle as much as possible, because we know that over time, if we are not proactive reducing the waste we dispose of in landfills, our county will be covered in rubbish. It is also much better for our environment.

In 2008, 11.2 million tons of solid waste were disposed of in New York State landfills, considerably less than the 14.1 million tons of solid waste that was landfilled in 1990. As of June 2009, there were 27 active municipal solid waste landfills, 16 active industrial/commercial waste landfills, 18 construction and demolition (C&D) landfills, and 3 active ash monofill landfills within New York State.

Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) consisting of residential, institutional and commercial waste must be disposed of at a MSW landfill. There are three active ash monofill landfills in New York State. Ash from the combustion of municipal solid waste is disposed of at these facilities. Industrial Waste Landfills are used for the disposal of industrial wastes such as coal ash and paper mill sludges.

While landfill gas recovery facilities collect the gas from the decomposition of solid waste for use as energy, Construction and Demolition Debris that is not processed is disposed of in a C&D landfill. Additional restrictions have been placed on landfills located in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in Long Island.
