Today is Earth Day! Being all the way on the other side of the world
and being lucky enough so see so many beautiful places and meet so many
fabulous people really makes me appreciate how wonderful our planet is
and how fortunate we are. We’ve all seen recently how fragile the earth
can be, with so many earthquakes occurring around the world and then
with the volcano eruption in Iceland literally preventing thousands of
people traveling. These are things that we can’t control… but there
are so many things we can control in our own lives to help sustain our
planet, conserve energy and educate people around us about the dangers
facing our planet. Just because you and I won’t be here forever,
doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do what we can while we are here to make sure
our kids, our kids kids and generations down the line can see the world
as we see it now. I want Mason to be able to see all the beautiful
places I’ve seen :) There are so many things you can do today, and
every day, to be green! Whether it’s turning the water off while you
brush your teeth, reusing your shopping bags, riding your bike instead
of driving, turn the lights of when you leave a room (I’m reallllyyy
OCD about this) or planting a tree in your garden! We all planted a
vegetable garden at mom’s house last year! What are you guys doing to
be green??

Happy Earth Day everyone!
