Doing my part for Earth Day
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
I've been celebrating Earth Day since the very first one, in 1970. My elementary school had an Earth Day march around the neighborhood and I carried a sign (taped to a snow shovel) protesting noise pollution. We lived below an O'Hare airport flight pattern that shook the house, so it was a pet cause of mine.
Today, I brought my water to Jazzercise in my new Nalgene Filter for Good BPA-free bottle (the one they use on Biggest Loser) and I wore my supercool Bummer T-shirt from Green Label Organics, which I got at Whole Foods. (You also can order them online.)
I love the shirt because I live in Hummer-heavy South Florida, which strangely seem to be driven by tiny women who workout at my gym. At first glance it looks like a Hummer fan shirt but look again! It's also made from organic cotton and really soaks up the exersweat.
And this week I'm making it a priority to reduce my carbon footprint by fitting in more meatless meals.
