This Friday, April 22, is Earth Day! The Earth Day Network is making it very easy to give a little something back to Mother Earth this year. They’ve devised a campaign to encourage mass participation: A Billion Acts of Green®.
Visit http://www.earthday.org/ for some great ideas of simple steps to take that will make a big difference (eating more locally sourced food, changing out your light bulbs, planting a garden, etc). You can declare your Act of Green, organize an Earth Day event, or find an event near you to attend.
Each Act pledged is counted towards the goal of one billion ahead of the 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As of 7:30am this morning the count was 100,499,089. Add you pledge to the growing number!
I made a personal pledge to support my local farmer’s market more than ever this season and to finally plant that wildflower garden that I never seem to have time for. As a business we always prefer to buy seasonal cut flower products and jump on the chance to purchase locally grown stock. Maybe this is the year that we begin our own cut flower garden in earnest. What will you do?
