An Earth Day Reminder

E-Waste Earthday

This year will be my first year celebrating Earth Day. It may seem trivial since it truly is a holiday that should be celebrated 365 days a year but it was only until this year that I had the knowledge and the means to celebrate it the way I wanted.

For the past 2 months I've been working on a new website for an organization called Get On Board (launches on April 22). I've learned so much about conversation and now have all the tools necessary to move forward and really embrace the message, "recycle, reduce, reuse". This year I will be donating a large sum of money to offset my carbon emissions. I will also plant 20 trees to aid reforestation and I will recycle all my old and outdated electronic gadgets.

All this conservation work reminded me of a WWF ad in Beijing, China this past January. It calls for every Chinese citizen not to drive one day out of the week. The smog balloon represents how much pollution would be spared by each car.

So this is my early Happy Earth Day post. Remember it takes very little to go green. A good place to start is by checking out all those links above.
