today is earth day. it's actually a pretty important day when you think about it. there is nothing we need more than the earth. here are some things i try to do for the earth:
1) i started a compost pile. you should too! it's fun and makes you feel good.
i think that's all.
2) i guess being vegetarian is good for the earth too.
here's a fact:
More than 1/3 of all fossil fuels produced in the United States go towards animal agriculture.even if you only try to eat less meat, like 3 days a week instead of 5, it's really good for the earth.
3) carpool. i'm pretty jelly of you city kids who don't need cars, but i try not to drive a lot. i just make wiley drive because his mom pays for his gas. !
4) i brush my teeth with my finger instead of a toothbrush. just kidding. how would that help anyone anyway silly?
5) i use to-go mugs. this is a big one. you should really invest in at least one good to-go mug.
6) sometimes i don't flush the toilet.
7) i don't shower every day. for some people, this might be more difficult/an impossibility, but fortunately my sedentary lifestyle means that i don't really get very dirty. (julie i know you're down with this one)
8) i also don't wash my clothes after every wear. see #7. laziness is cleanliness i guess.
9) i make my lunch everyday. does that count for anything?
10) mostly i think if you just do what the hippies do or maybe pretend you are on the oregon trail instead of in the 21st century, you will do great!
