Earth Day 2008

Continuing kind of from my last post I wanted to say a little more about Earth Day and what I would like to do as my part, it starts with sharing information and I think thats hugely important but beyond getting the word out each of us could do something even if its only starting one new habit, together that adds up to a lot of people doing something. My pledge for this earth is to plant more trees, every day I see so many torn down, I feel its my personal duty to teach my kids the importance of trees and plants and the proper way to plant them. The second thing I plan to do is compost more, we have a compost pile for our leaves and trimmings but I find I never put food scraps and over ripe fruits and vegetables in it which is a real waste, so that will be my other goal. And of course I am always turning off the lights, conserving water and walking or biking when I can. I want a happy earth like this one.
