Earth Day 2007

What a wonderful time of year to celebrate Mother Earth. I love Spring. It’s a time for naturally happening new beginnings and a great opportunity to make some changes for yourself.

To find out what local events you may be able to participate in go here. You may just want to plug in your state, if you put in your zip code, it won’t bring up local events outside of your immediate town.

One of the tips and the big push this year to contribute to not only more conscious living, but more money in your pocket is to switch out your light bulbs. We did this at home (which also includes my office) years ago and it makes such a huge difference. We change bulbs much less frequently and enjoy a savings on our utility bill.

Also, on the Earth Day Network Web site (just click on the Earth Day logo above) you can download various tips for what you can do at home and work and with your children to make the world a better place.

Make a change, every little bit counts!

Can You Say ‘Global Warming’?

Friday, January 5th, 2007

Well, I’m sure there are no politicians reading this that need help forming the words “Global Warming” and feeling the ecological pain, but I need to rant a bit.

Here I sit in New Jersey on January 5 at 12:30 in the afternoon. It’s 61 degrees. That’s just not right.

I hear people almost every day saying “Boy, we’re getting off easy this winter, aren’t we?” like it’s a GOOD thing.

We’re hitting record highs here in the Northeast and I have yet to see a snowflake this winter. That’s just not right.

I want to urge everyone to educate yourself more about this and insist that our politicians and industry leaders TAKE THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND!!!! (edited for mature, vulgar language)

I have these links on my Virtual Assistant web site, but they are certainly worth repeating here (I will probably add them to my sidebar when I have a chance):

Stop Global Warming

Ecological Footprint Quiz This is a great thing to do with your children. Make sure you visit their homepage after taking the test to see what you can do to lower your family’s impact.

My husband received the book An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore for Christmas and it’s just heartbreaking. To see the pictures of what is projected to happen to our coastlines and islands is appalling. If Greenland and Antartica continue melting, the World Trade Center Memorial will be under water.

Please, please, please - if you do nothing else - spend 10 minutes on the Stop Global Warming web site and ask yourself what you can do!
