HOLIDAY: happy greening

happy earth day! i've been nonexistent the last few weeks with our move, but hopefully i can get back on track now.

i'm glad to think that with such a popular emphasis on 'going green' these days, earth day as a holiday isn't as big of deal as it used to be. i'm not saying it's not important of course, but there is just such an emphasis on protecting the environment everyday, that there's only so much more you can do on this special day.

what will we do special for the day? honestly, nothing. we already have all our lights CFL's, take shorter showers, consolidate our errands and driving, use cloth shopping bags, and all that good stuff.

it is fun to get together with the community and do something together. around here, there are tons of park and beach clean-ups, nature walks and recycling events. we'll be taking part in the festivities when we can this week and have fun with new friends.

i hope that you too can have fun getting out and down and dirty to improve your neighborhood and give mother earth a little help.
