Today is the day to acknowledge our one common mother, Mother Earth. Crazy things have been happening all over the world lately and people are finally seeing that we need to help protect her from ourselves. There are so many things that we can all do to contribute to using a little less in our daily lives. Turning off and unplugging lights, computers and other electronics is a small step but helps. Recycling, reusing plastic bottles, and only printing when NEEDED are also small things that won't break you. If you're a little more hardcore and want to help out, check out foundations and volunteer programs in your local city. Foundations like Surfrider.com you can find in most cities and if you don't have the time, but do have the money, make a donation to help our world be a better place! Didn't someone say Green is the new Black?(yeah trendsters!)
If you're in NYC this weekend go up to Central Park this Sunday from 12 to 4pm to enjoy live performances, planting and mulching projects, tree care and composting demonstrations, and environmental education.
So, as cheesy as it sounds earth day is everyday. Show your mother some respect and help her out!
