I believe in our ability to 'create our day' or 'create our world'. A simple concept: if we focus on the negative, we bring about more negative. If we set our intentions toward a positive change, we generate positive results.
It upsets me to see acres upon acres or forests destroyed, for industrialized development's sake. It upsets me to observe people tossing all of their waste into the "trash" bins at our recycling center, instead of making a small effort to recycle. However, with this post, I'll focus on a few Solutions to impact climate change. If more of us set our intentions on constructive means, our positive energy will flow into the Universe. Really, it's all about living Green.
~ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - we've all heard this phrase. How many actually take the steps?
~ Invest in green bags, and remember to Use them. Keep a few in your vehicle, so they're accessible. Not to say that you need to drive to the store every time ... walk or ride your bike.
~ Limit your need for driving, when you can. We (my partner and I) are lucky enough to live in an area where we can walk to many stores and restaurants. I have friends using public transportation or they carpool to work.
~ While I'm on this subject, here's another idea. Replace your gas powered tools (mower, trimmer, etc) for electric or rechargeable cordless electric models. Better still: buy a manual mower - that's what we use for our small lawn.
~ Eat organic, or vegetarian if you choose. Even if you do this once or twice a week, it will make a difference. If you want to learn more about the Why: read this article. It certainly opened my eyes.
~ Turn out the lights! Not just the lights, but your computer and printer, and other electronics when they're not in use. Most computers have a hibernate mode, which works nicely. While you're at it, invest in compact fluorescent bulbs for the house ... you can gradually replace standard bulbs.
There are so many solutions, I cannot mention them all in one post. It's easy to learn more, by simply spending time reading online. Take a look at other bloggers' posts, at the Blog Action Day site, and on Twitter @blogactionday.
