Older gnomelet said, "Mama, we need to make signs."
Yes, older gnomelet is Mama gnome's ecowarrior. She was Mama gnome's secret weapon against Plastic Bag Monster when Mama gnome took on Plastic Bag Monster on the 14th day of September in the year two thousand and nine.
This Thursday, September 22, 2010, will be the 40th year Anniversary of Earth Day.
Mama gnome and the gnome family will be wearing green, eating green and acting "green" on that day.
Green as in Eco-super-duper-nifty-sing-on-rolling-hills-green.
How can we be green on Earth Day?
Make it a meatless day.
Becoming vegetarian is one of the most significant acts to helping the environment.
According to this post:
"The United Nations have concluded that meat production is responsible for around 18% of global CO2 emissions. 5,214 gallons of water are required to produce a single pound of beef, and the EPA estimates that more than 27,000 miles of US rivers have been polluted by livestock waste. Individually, you could make a great deal of change by putting down the meat and going vegetarian."Avoid driving if you can or limit the amount of driving you do.
Turn off all unnecessary lights and electric gadgets. The gnomelets are excited. Brushing their teeth and bedtime story are so much more interesting when it's by candlelight.
Please do not use plastic bottles, plastic bags or disposable plates, spoons, forks, napkins and other throw away products.
Plastic Bag Monster cannot wait to amass more minions to gather in landfills and in our oceans.
Plant something. Herbs in the kitchen, window box, a tree, flowers. Daddy gnome is going over plans for the gnome family's vegetable garden. Mama gnome will keep you posted on how this project is going.
