Earth Day 2008- nyc

Well today was Earth Day. There are lots of opportunities to support and be apart of Earth Day in nyc. But I choose to have my own little celebration....

things I did that are not worth acknowledgment but are sort of funny when put in a list....
  • took the bricks, sticks and big rocks out of my patch of grass in the back yard.
  • Finally picked up the trash in my front yard that I have always been too disgusted to bend over and pick up... a plastic flosser... eww. how rude
  • use reusable cloths to dust and clean shower, something that I am trying to always do
  • sewed cloth napkins for use
  • decided no matter how important it is to be green i will always clean my toilet with something that I can put directly in the trash can (besides my plastic scrubber brush, but that's antimicrobial!)
  • ate Pinkberry, which comes in a paper cup, but has a plastic spoon and top....
Yea Earth!. . . . and right now I am reading The Te of Piglet and I came upon the most wonderful little quote...

"When a stream comes to some stones in its path, it doesn't struggle to remove them, or fight against them, or think about them. It just goes around them. And as it does, it sings. Water responds to What's There with effortless action"
