The To-Do List: Climate Change (Blog Action Day ‘09)

October15

The New Forgiveness Conspiracy is all about doing small and beautiful and unexpected things, and in that regard “Climate Change” might sound a bit ambitious. But there are many small and beautiful and unexpected things each of us can do to move our world towards that goal. Some ideas…

Sign the Petition at TckTckTck

Share the video above via Facebook or Twitter

Eat less meat (and check out Jonathan Safran Foer’s recent essay in the New York Times, while you’re at it)

Use reusable grocery bags and water bottles (we like the ACME Workhorse bags and the Kleen Kanteen bottles)

Try composting (apartment-dwellers can do this, too!) or growing your own food

Have any ideas to share? Please leave a comment below!

For more information on climate change and what you can do to help, visit the website of Blog Action Day. The song in the above video was written by Midnight Oil and released on their album, Diesel and Dust, in 1987 – 22 years ago! They were a favorite band of mine back in the day, and I still prefer the original.

Greg Krause, a 39 year old recent med school grad, took advantage of Jet Blue’s 30 Days of Travel promotion to do some good for this world….

By purchasing a $599 30 Days of Travel ticket, Greg has the option to travel as often, and as far, as he’d like using Jet Blue for 30 days.  So where’s he going?  Greg plans to travel around the world to raise money for a school in Zambia founded by his parents for orphaned and abandoned children.

Beginning and ending in Chicago, Greg “will fly more than 55,000 miles and visit 27 cities in five countries to spread the word about the school.”
