This week the US celebrates the 37th Earth Day. How will you celebrate? Here are some simple effective ways:
1. Thick about which habit can I change that will make my being less burdensome?
2. Pay it forward: Talk to a friend about your resolve and inspire them to make a change.
3. Talk to your children and learn from them. They will be coming home with a wealth of knowledge.
4. Take action. Actions speak louder than words.
My family opted for a hybrid sedan vehicle instead of a larger SUV type car. This purchase will require us to change our vehicle use habits. Your resolve may not involve a large purchase, but if it makes a difference, thats what matters. Take a ceramic cup to work;
Stop using the disposables;
Use one napkin instead of the usual 20 odd napkins,
Use a cotton washable rag for cleaning and dusting instead of paper towels,
Use cleaning products that are gentler to produce and use,
Compost your yard waste instead of throwing it in the trash and
I can go on and on.
