Well, it's that time of the year again - April 22nd, the day we recognize as the one to spread environmental awareness, and knowledge on how to be friendlier to our earth. For over 30 years, Earth Day has been promoting progressive actions towards our environment, letting everyone from children to educators to the average person know about what's going on, and how to help the problems of our Earth come to a screeching halt.
This day, a lot of people are doing many things different, but I will continue doing exactly what I've been doing to be green and environmentally aware, plus a little more. I post on this blog sharing my feelings, thoughts, and ideas about global warming, being green, and caring for our environment to get the word out to as many people as possible. Today, I will try to avoid having unnecessary equipment turned on even more, like my speakers, and so forth.
Remember, people! Shower efficiently, shut the water flow when brushing, flush as less as possible, shut unnecessary lights off, switch to CFL bulbs, avoid stand-by mode on electronics, and look out for energy star compliant products. Bonus: Walk if you can. Cycle if you can't. Use public transport if you can't cycle. Save on gas & money all while reducing your carbon footprint.

You know what bothered me on this day. I turned on the tv for a bit and caught this presentation about how to help our mother Earth, the program was very insightful: use low energy electronics, watch less, turn lights off in places you are not in, blah blah blah, and then they ask to stay tuned to the program to come....
HELLO??????? IF we are supposed to watch less and use less energy, why the bloody hell do u tell me to stay tuned for some other show??? that F*ck*ng defeats the purpose of using less energy. And what about the many companies that keep the a/c running after everyone goes home. Individuals & companies need to be targeted when this issue is being discussed. and ALL need to comply, other wise it's the finger pointing problem, "but he didn't do it so why should i?," or "I'll do it after he does" that mind set is what gets a lot of ppl into pooper in the first place.
so watch less if you can, sweat a little (if you can), and see what fun things you can do energy free.
sing for music
talk face to face for entertainment/gossip
walk in the park for leisure and relaxation
and enjoy life... as it's intended. Happily 🙂
Very well put, Irina. Thank you. 🙂
I do strongly believe that people are becoming more home-bound and forgetting how great the outdoors are, and all the fun things that can be done that aren't detrimental to the environment.
