The 20th of April is Earth Day! Hurray. To celebrate I have decided to make to make a list of earth friendly goals as my way of celebrating. I will follow my do & don’t list for an entire 24 hours starting at 12:01 AM on the 22nd.
- I will not burn fossil fuels in a vehicle (i.e. I will ride my bike everywhere I go)
- I will not eat any packaged foods; only breads, grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables I can carry home without packaging (of course I will refrain from meat as well).
- When I leave my home and office I will turn off/unplug all standby electronics.
- I will use as much ambient natural light as I can.
- I will take a 1+ hour nature hike up Rock Canyon, and will collect and haul out as much garbage as I can.
I hope everyone will find a way to celebrate our beautiful earth this Earth Day in a productive and eco-friendly way. Let me know what you decided to do.
What a great way to celebrate mother nature. I decided that I want to go on a hike too. I have finals that day, so I’ll probably be eating up electricity by studying on my computer..but maybe chris and I can find time to join you on the trash pick up or go on our own excursion.
