What did you do to mark the day? Did you drop a can in the recycle bin? Did you car pool? Did you even know it was Earth Day? I'm guessing many of you didn't.
So what does a green girl do to go the extra mile on Earth Day? I absolutely didn't have a clue this morning when I woke up. I had thought about it all last week and I drew a blank. I'm already making such big changes in my life, that big gestures seemed kinda lame. So I just figured I'd do my normal routine and call it a day.
Funny how opportunity falls right into your lap. I was teasing a friend at work about "What are you going to do to be green?" In the conversation I told her to give me her two plastic bottles and I would put them in my bin at home. Then it hit me! We already have a recycle bin at work for soda cans, but why not one for plastic bottles. We only have one can soda vending machine, but two bottled ones. We talked about it and she is on a committee with the building's maintenance engineer, so I asked her to bring it up to him as a possibility.
So what did I do for Earth Day? Hopefully I got the ball rolling for another form of recycling at my work. Not bad for a girl that didn't have a clue this morning. It's not too late guys...........get your green on!
