Earth Day Post, remixed

Posted by La-Tessa on Apr 24, 2009 in Random Musings

Ok, I lost the site yesterday (my fault, messing around with the wrong set of code), but I wanted to repost part of my Earth Day post. 

April 22 is Earth Day, a day

“designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment”

so says Wikipedia.

Here’s a list of 10 simple things you can do to celebrate Earth Day from Chaba Art:

  1. Plant a tree in your yard or start a garden
  2. Simply stop using pesticides on your lawn
  3. Support a local, organic farmer or CSA
  4. Buy organic
  5. Spend time in nature
  6. Buy energy-saving, compact-fluorescent light bulbs and other energy efficient products
  7. Recycle
  8. Shop Green
  9. Join or make a donation to any organization that supports the environment
  10. Create good thoughts

Now, I’m a health conscious person that enjoys living as naturally & organically as I can.  I’m no extremist (I won’t be chaining myself to any trees or anything soon, I’m too cute for that ;-) ) but I do what I can.  So I decided to plant some ginger and two blueberry bushes I had ordered to help celebrate.

So once I got home, me & the crew got busy

Actually, they got in the way.   But an hour or so later, I had my mini garden looking good.  Check out my blueberry bushes (“bush” being the operative word here–I had no idea they would be that tiny):

I even repotted a plant, just because.  I love that flower pot.

So what, if anything, did you do for Earth Day?
