As we watch the tornadoes and floods across the Southern US, sometimes it feels like taking small steps is just not going to be enough to stem the worst of global warming. But taking small steps is a start, and while these alone may not make enough of a difference in themselves, changing your attitude in your everyday life can lead to bigger realizations. For example, when you stop using plastic water bottles, or soft drink bottles, you begin to think, Maybe there are other things I really don’t need, things that are minor but have a huge impact when we consume them thoughtlessly. And maybe we will begin to think more about exactly what’s in those bottles – sugary drinks unhealthy for humans, especially in large quantities.
So, we’re going to post, each week, three things you can do. Just three. Take the whole week to add them into your daily or weekly schedule. Make just these three things habits for a week. Then, in the next week, add three more. Incrementally, you may be making big changes, just a little at a time. And pick and choose from the things you can implement, and leave behind those that you can’t, or that just won’t work for you, or for your family if you are a family member. Some things you may already be doing, so just give yourself a pat on the back for that.
Tomorrow, we’ll post the first three. If you don’t want to miss any, subscribe to our RSS feed, so you don’t miss any of these.
