Climatic Changes: Mark 10.10.10. A Global Day of Doing...

"The good news is we know what to do. The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed, and as they become available and become more affordable when produced in scale, they will make it easier to respond. But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait." AL GORE

This year, 1010Global has organized groups around the world to make this the largest day of positive action on climate change. We often talk about reducing our carbon footprint, cutting down on our contributions to the emissions that continue to poison our climate and reducing waste that feeds contaminants and toxins to our food line.

However, given the average person's lifestyle and habits, it isn't as easy to give up wasteful habits; leaving lights on, letting water run, driving gas guzzling cars that emit pollutants and even tossing out tons of food in plastic garbage bags. Are there times we can walk rather than drive for an errand that is very close to our homes?

How many times do we go to the buffet table and take extras which end up in the garbage? By simplifying our lives and eating naturally sourced foods, we can, one by one, reduce the burden of waste and illnesses that spread round the world. 1010Global offered a long list of things we can do to help reduce our contributions to global waste. We need an energy diet. Below are 10 of my favorite and easy things we can do to get those carbon footprints flying out the door. What do you think?
