With Earth Day 2011: A Billion Acts of Green only one week from today, I find myself pondering how my family and I can best express our gratitude to Mother Earth. Honestly, either because of my crazy hectic life, or perhaps my flakeyness, most likely a combination of both…I usually don’t even realize Earth Day is here until the little MSNBC Logo turns green for the week. I just don’t keep track of holidays and birthdays very well (and don’t even start talking anniversaries…I forgot MY OWN wedding anniversary this year!) and unless it’s Christmas or the first or last day of the girls’ school, I can’t gaurantee I know it’s coming.
So, since I know Earth Day is coming, ;), I’ve actually checked out the Earth Day website and I love this year’s theme: A Billion Acts of Green. The idea is simple…pledge to do one thing…big or small. FABULOUS!
So, I’m ultra stoked that I know Earth Day is next week, and I am excited to be able to put some thought into it. And I’m SUPER excited to get some ideas from all of you SuperPeeps! So…what are you doing? Planting Something? Cleaning Something? Meditating and Being Gracious? Getting involved in a community project? Making a promise to change one small habit? Getting where you need to go by only walking (or running, if you’re the running type) or bicycling? Using zero plastic bags? Eat more (or only) local food?
You can make your pledge and see what others are pledging here. I am still undecided on my pledge. I have ideas such as creating and completing a couple more veggie garden patches in the emerging yarden, and I will decide on one small habit to change…with kids, disposable paper products is a hard one for me to overcome…mainly the plates…we did successfully transition to cloth napkins awhile ago :). But I would also like to do something a little more out of my comfort zone, and that inspiration has yet to emerge.
So…SUPERFOREST…Let’s share ideas and inspire each other!! I can’t wait to hear what everyone has planned!!
