Dirt-Lovin’ Tree Hugger…

Yup, that’s me, and I’m here to wish you all a Happy Earth Day! And since I’m known as “cause girl” just want you all to take a moment and think about what an amazing world we live in. How nature is so precious and beautiful and that everything we do has an impact on future generations, from the type of car we drive (love the Prius, hate the Hummer) to the food we eat (organic, local and check out the slow food movement) to what we buy (packaging all has to go some where). If you’re interested take a minute and visit some of my favorite websites – they’ll help you put in perspective what your imprint on the world is.

www.care2.com (and environmental portal for just about anything)
www.gristmagazine.com (environmental news: “gloom and doom with a sense of humor”)
www.checnet.org (small childrens environmental health website)

And environmentalists come in all shape and sizes. Break the sterotype and realize that you don’t have to be a Deadhead hippie living in the woods to care about the fate of the planet. Just a few small things can make a difference. After all, look at me!

Peace
