Earth Day 2011 and Billion Acts of Green

Friday, April 22, 2011

Today is Earth Day and I encourage to do what we should be doing every single day - working to reduce your footprint on the planet. No, this doesn't diminish your legacy to your children any. In fact, it will likely increase it. It also won't save you money in most cases. Sometimes living green can be costly and inconvenient. After all, if it were easy, everybody would be doing it, right? But we now know the planet won't last forever. Shocker, right? So do whatever you can for today but more importantly make small changes that you can incorporate in everyday life. Earth Day Network encourages you to pledge your commitment on their Billion Acts of Green site. Go share your act - it will keep you accountable. If you're stumped for ideas, check out acts posted by other members.

And, for goodness' sake, go outside!

Earth Hour Tomorrow

Friday, March 27, 2009

We will once again be participating in Earth Hour this year. We haven't decided what we'll do yet. Last year it was a family dinner by candlelight. It also segued into one evening a week with no electronics i.e. computers, tv, gamesystems, ipods. We'll see what changes it brings about this year; what conversations about conservation it sparks.

I encourage each of you to go and read about Earth Hour if you haven't heard about it. And just commit to one little hour. Tomorrow 8:30 your local time
