And yet... I'm writing one more post. Here's my list of easy-being-green ways to celebrate Earth Day.
1. Go Outside. Enjoy nature. Take a hike. Remember why we care about the Earth and even have Earth Day in the first place. (No latex balloons needed!)
2. Do something nice for the earth. Make a donation to EarthDay.org. Or Plant a tree. You could even just be nice to a person living on the earth.
3. Start a compost. I had to include this one because I'm obsessed lately with composting. And yes, I know it's not for everyone.
4. Ride your bike, walk or take the bus instead of driving. If you are a must-drive kinda person, carpool. Just this once.
5. Leave the TV off. It's Screen-Free Week after all. And doing this small but symbolic gesture of conservation - isn't that all Earth Day is about anyway?
Got some better ideas? Let me know how you plan to celebrate Earth Day tomorrow and every day!
I thought I WAS following you already... annoying. Fixed now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love all this green stuff. Although composting in my NYC apartment - would get ass kicked by co-op board - not going to work. ;-)
Also while I dream of "screen-free" just not realistic to my situation right now - a go-nowhere spring break w/ boys at each others throats unless they are being separately entertained. (Have I mentioned that if autism sucks, it sucks double-time on school vacations?)
Anyway, can't WAIT for bloggy boot camp in 2 weeks! Cheers!
Yes, yes I will. I didn't learn to ride a bike till I was 12. Sad, I know. But, I'll be dusting my bike off today and riding it to the store to get dinner.
