HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

Hey Y'all,

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

There are "green" events going on everywhere this week! Go and check them out.

Please take time to read the blog entry I did in celebration of EARTH DAY for Christine at Duong Designs about my eco lifestyle. I ain't perfect, but I'm trying hard!! For example, I haven't flown this year:) Oh and please, I ain't no writer, so please be nice;) This will also fill you in on what I've been up to lately...

Also, this lovely song came on as I was typing this post, and I think it fits perfectly to this day, as I think of mother nature. Savour ittttt.

Love and peace,

Think, people, THINK!

Go see The Age of Stupid

You think they're preaching to the choir? Well, at least they are being proactive about it!

Visit the website and attend a premier in your country

Call me an hippie...

Excellent educational video about how to eliminate waste and how to consume without feeling guilty about creating waste... We all need to start thinking differently.

Looks like Nike didn't compromise looks after all with their "considered" products...

Check it out

But is this enough?

Buy and read the book "Cradle to Cradle"

you might consider picking up the book in a store as opposed to ordering it online (comes with uneccesary packaging).

I think what it ultimately comes down to is, is that people need to consider what materials and manufacturing methods go into creating a product that one desires. Is it something that you keep for a lifetime? If not, will the product end up in a landfill? or will it get recycled? We need to think about the life span of products, from start to finish, then to their rebirth!

It's not just about the environment, it's about our health. It makes me sick to know what kind of chemicals are released into air and dumped into our water sources. If we can actively aid in the way company cut corners, we can avoid so many sicknesses... so ask yourselves, what can I do?
