I love alliteration!

Even more, I like the idea of trying just one thing each day. It’s a good way (at least in the beginning) to work green actions into our lives. And then as we become more comfortable with some things, hopefully we will do them more often than weekly.

Restore – that’s a really good one. “Reduce, reuse, recycle” was taught to me in school, but the idea of lovingly restoring something to its former splendor is so powerful. We get so caught up in buying new things, but why not go to Craigslist or Freecycle or a garage sale and find something even better?

I read this on Sunday and thought I commented. Apparently not!

My husband had an interesting argument with a friend on Facebook. This particular friend still denied the existence of global warming. It was both frustrating and enlightening to read her points. I must say, my husband won the argument (not that I am biased or anything).

Anyway, we are doing our best to cut down our waste. It really is the little things that matter!

Philosophically and practically speaking, this is such an important post. One that I will come back to. And your Alliterative Daily Green Earth? Clever and compelling. You are not just a phenomenal writer, Belinda. You are an instigator of change. Thank you!

Hi Belinda,

Your passion and commitment shines through loud and clear. Amen for making every day Earth day!

There is a great book by Renee Loux called “Easy Green Living”. It is the encyclopedia on how to be green. We used this book to change our lifestyle to be as environmentally conscious as possible. We are already vegans but we changed all our cleaning products, beauty products and so on. The best part is that it was not that expensive.

As you so beautifully pointed out, the Earth loves us unconditionally…it is only fair that we return that love by being as kind to nature as we can. The way I see it, the volcanic ash over Europe is further proof that no one should mess with Mother Nature.

Hi Belinda
Junk mail, junk newspapers, free newspapers… all have to stop.
For my own part I try and take the train or even walk.

Good news is that my daughter is more aware of environmental problems than my generation is… they are educated about it at school.

Keep reminding us Belinda and some of us may start to take action.

Hi Belinda – Thank you so much for this concrete, constructive list. I especially appreciated your list of ways to impart environmental lessons to our kids. I inadvertently gave my toddler a strong dose of green the other day when reading him The Lorax for the first time. He became so sad while listening to the book that he insisted on planting a tree to make up for the ones that had been chopped down in the book. He and I compromised and we now have seven tiny sunflower plants sprouting in our window.

Sorry I’m breaking the Sacrifice Saturday commandment right now! Maybe I’ll make today Sexy and tomorrow Sacrificial.

Belinda –

I love your alliterative approach. Totally terrific. It is often confusing trying to figure out how to be sustainable, but I think you have laid out some really clear (and perhaps more importantly fun) steps we can all take to start out. We are a zip car driving, low meat eating, recycling family but there is still a lot more to do if we are to sort this mess out. Keep campaigning and thank you!
