Earthlings: We Need Your Help

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Immeubles Deakin Realty

Earthlings: We need your help.  More specifically, my son Tyler does.

Remember that old shampoo commercial where "I'll tell two friends....and I'll tell two friends...and I'll tell two friends"?  Well, it's sort of like that.

Lake with trees and sun streaming throughIn honour of Earth Day, which is today, April 22, 2010, my son Tyler's class of grade 6ers at Emile Nelligan School in Kirkland, Quebec, has been asked to each think of something they can do for the environment.  Tyler has decided to bike to school and recycle all of his Yop bottles.

In the spirit of that old shampoo commercial, the project also requires that he ask 3 people to also think of something they can do for the environment.  I'm one of the 3, and I've decided to put a recycle bin in my office.  My younger son has decided to take shorter showers.  My husband will be the compost man.

And here's where you come in.  Each of us now has to ask 2 others to think of something they can do to help the environment and to report back on what that is.

So I'm asking all 180,000+ of you for your help here.  Can you think of something you'd like to do to make this earth a healthier and greener place?  If so, please share it here.  Tyler's gunning for an A+ : )

With loads of thanks,

Tyler and his Mom

We just paid a check to get on the new and improved recycle bin program for trash pick-up.  Cherise

That's great, Cherise.  But does that mean that you have to pay for recycling pick up in Colorado?  Or just for an upgraded program?

Jane, I like your style : )

hi Tanya,

I'll make a greater effort to make sure all of our green waste makes it into the green bin for municipal composting and I'll stop leaving the water running while I'm brushing my teeth.

Tanya,

 

I agree, and earth day really needs to become every day. People always need to bear the environment in mind.

Great ideas, Jo. I've got to do the water/brushing teeth thing too -- I find it so hard though.  I don't so much brush my teeth as give them a good bath and brushing : )

I couldn't agree with you more, Brian.  And what's your "thing" for the environment?
