Today is the first ever Blog Action Day, and what a great first topic for mass blog participation: the environment.
Recently I was speaking to someone who’s career is heavily involved in promoting environmental causes. She was telling me how she sometimes grows weary of quoting the statistics about various topics, for example “25% of the world’s pesticides are used to produce conventional cotton”. Giving lecture after lecture, such facts have become ingrained in her. Yet, it’s easy to be so immersed in one’s cause that one can forget that a lot of people are not immersed. A good chunk of the world does not know statistics like that and many do not care.
Repetition. The conversation about the environment is not just a trendy one. It’s on a lot of our minds with good reason. The more we talk about it and beat it silly, it will hopefully become ingrained in all of us. We all can do our own part in our own way.
Have a great day and love your mama earth.
Wow, gone such a short time and so much to catch up on! You know I have never eaten a Krispy Kreme! I don’t even want to start. Your boys are so cute.
On to your brother, that is so cool! I love stuff like that house, incredible.
And lastly, I try to love mama earth but the more reminders I get, the better!
Pretty funny on the interveiw, right?
Oh yes, I have the same thoughts about saving the environment and how some people see it as ‘trendy’. Hope that more people will take it more seriously and take action. Reducing waste is a good start and something we can all do.
