Today, October 15th, is Blog Action Day. Blog Action Day was created for bloggers to unite on a single important issue and get information out there on it. For 2007, the topic is the environment. There are so many ways and so many resources out there that it is hard to decide what to write on, but I think the easiest, simplest thing for everyone to do is remember the three Rs and for parents, the N.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Narrate.
I bet you are doing more for the environment that you realize. You have just gotten used to the small changes you have been making over the years- but your little ones may not know why you do the things you do or even notice that you are doing them. So take the two seconds to tell your children what it is your are doing and why it is best for the environment. Just a few examples, I'm sure you'll get the picture...
"We are carpooling with the Smiths to soccer because it saves gas and reduces CO2"
"We turn off the water while we brush our teeth to keep from wasting it"
"We use dish towels instead of paper towels to reduce waste and save trees"
Happy Blog Action Day folks!
