Let’s Live Green, People!
I was very sad when I realized I didn’t participate in this year’s Earth Hour, which took place on March 27th. Yes, yes, I understand that I can just leave lights off any other time (as my wisecracking coworkers pointed out), but I think there’s something touching about the entire world sharing an effort to do something good for the earth, all at the same time.
With today’s celebration of Earth Day, (HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYONE!), the effort continues, and here are two happenings that would be a lot of fun to be part of:
Food industry royalty Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich are inviting everyone to eat at one of their Certified Green Restaurants®, which showcase farmer’s market driven menus and a no-bottled-water policy. Where better to honor our planet than at one of their eateries?
If you can’t find a date to take to one of those restaurants, no problem! Earth Day Speed Dating could be your solution. You get 10-12 eight-minute dates, (over drinks…lots of drinks) and the bonus is, you know these people care about the earth, making them decent human beings at the very least.
Too bad I’ll be working. But no matter. It’s all about little efforts to live a greener lifestyle, not just on Earth Day. So let’s live green, people! Everybody just do your part – conserve, reuse, recycle, and be more conscious of how your actions affect the planet and its creatures – and everybody wins.
