It's pretty amazing how far the green movement has come in just a year. Everywhere I turn now there are utility company newsletters telling me about how to have an earth-friendly party (read more here), new merchandise popping up so I can proudly wear my greeness, sustainable colleges, and banks and investment companies asking me to go green by switching to electronic statements. Isn't it so cool?!?!?NRDC sent me an entire email with "Ideas and Actions to Help You Celebrate Earth Day." Here are some of the items from their "Earth Day Toolkit:"
- A shopper's guide to buying forest-friendly tissue, paper towels and toilet paper. (I like Seventh Generation.)
- A Dozen Things You Can Do to Keep Yourself - and the Earth - HEALTHY. For example, eat organic, use non-toxic personal care and cleaning products, put your computer in sleep mode when not in use, and replace those bulbs!
- Eat local! (It gets easier when spring rolls along. The farmer's market here opens in two weeks. Yay!)
- Take action: Urge the Department of Agriculture to act now to save bees.
These are just a few examples in a large pool of green activism, information, and products that are out there and available for the next budding treehugger.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
