ENVIRONMENT BLOG ACTION DAY

The outdoors environment (I am being environment specific as there are many environments, yet that is for another posting) is a very important and timely topic.Awareness began from many sources, yet seemingly expanded globally by luminary Al Gore’s efforts, which include a starring role in the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, a live concert, Live Earth, and most recently being awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize shared with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The delicate condition of the large, encompassing environment that we live in gains notoriety and recognition daily. That is a very good thing from my perspective. Unlike toilet paper and other replaceable goods, the environment is not man made (whatever your spiritual or lack of spiritual beliefs) and only renewable with attention and care.

The air we breath, trees, grass, weeds, flowers, football & soccer fields, blue, pristine water falls, ponds, lakes and public parks in assorted shapes and sizes, and lest we forget, our own back yards and personal space, are simply a few of the many spectacular aspects of the outdoor environment.

What is MOST IMPORTANT to you is typically what you do WELL and what you pay attention to. What is LESS IMPORTANT to you, you do LESS well and so on, until you reach the realm of the UNIMPORTANT.

I ask:

Question ONE: What level of importance TO YOU is the air you breathe and generally all that green/blue and clear stuff that exists outside your internal environment.

Question TWO: What will make the world we live in move up a notch toward MOST IMPORTANT in your life.

Question THREE: What are you willing to do? Stop smoking (healthy for everyone) or simply break the habit of tossing cigarette butts out the car window. I use this example, as one which may be more easily identified or achieved.

COMMENT: This posting is NOT about how large your level of involvement – what is important, from this author’s perspective, is that you get involved at all. Sitting on the sidelines is weight – stepping into the game creates energy.

ARE YOU WILLING TO PLAY – if so, post your email address on this site to discover and commit with a way for you to get in the game at YOUR level. I will post all the ideas with the idea to share, encourage and perhaps even to expand ideas, thoughts and efforts of many.
