be a better environmentalist

I’ve always been concerned for the environment and have recently joined some organizations like the Sierra Club and Conservation International…but I want more than the free return labels and stuffed animal. I’d like to get involved, but I guess a little uncomfortable with where to start. I feel like I don’t know enough about the issues to really make a change, etc. BUT – I did get a little newsletter in the mail from Sierra with some upcoming events, so I think I’ll try some of them and see where it leads….

I just went to the “Reclaim the Earth!” rally and march on Earth Day in Toronto.
It was so much fun and probably the most inspirational thing I have ever done in my life.
I really felt at peace while there—I just knew that I was doing something that MATTERED.

We rang bells, banged on drums and blew whistles to “Wake up Stephen Harper” and demand Kyoto at a minimum.
I was at the VERY front of the march and a billion pics were taken. I have yet to see any at all though :(

I have been visiting the David Suzuki Foundation website a lot for motivation.

There is this other thing called Streets are for People! that is really cool that you should check out. I will try to remember to list the link another time, but try googling it lol

I’m going to a “Cambridge Green Decade” meeting tomorrow to see how I can help make things happen in my city. I’m going to use the space heater less, always remember to unplug my charger from the wall, and figure out one new thing every week I can add to this list.
