Today is Blog Action Day...on October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.
My environmental consciousness finds comfort in avoiding needlessly imported products and goods whenever I can. What I mean is that I don't buy Australian or other far-off country's wine. California has amazing 'local' wines starting at really cheap prices (BevMo 5 cent specials?), so why import!?
The other thing I've started to do when I can is pay money towards a carbon-offset scheme when I travel on a plane. It's a practical way to contribute to programs that try to balance the global warming effect we all contribute to.
The next step has to be to switch to low-energy light bulbs...if Wal-Mart can make a conscious effort to stock them, the least we can do is buy them...although I've never bought anything from Wal-Mart. I'm kinda proud of that!
Blog Action Day is about MASS participation. That means we need you!
