Happy Earth Day! I’ve always loved Earth Day and I wanted to take this opportunity to share some steps to take to help make the Earth a bit healthier. One of my favorite quotes that has emerged recently is that we need millions helping the planet imperfectly not a few helping perfectly. We are a prime example of a couple that is imperfectly helping the planet, always trying to improve, and just doing our best.
Most importantly, keep up the work. It is worth it even if you feel as though your contribution is small. First off, you’re not alone. There’s millions of people taking baby steps like you. They’re making the small changes and working towards a more sustainable future. Second, you’d be amazed what your impact is if you really look. For example, I drink around 2 water bottles worth of water a day. That means I save 730 water bottles a year. I could easily use 2 plastic bags per work day which means I save around 380 plastic bags a year. These are baby steps but they really add up. Don’t let the gloom and doom statistics get you down. Do what you can and that’s all you can do. We all need to push for a more sustainable future but you can’t single handedly solve climate change. Focus on what you can control and contribute to. Do all you can and encourage others (friends all the way up to politicians) to do the same. Just keep fighting and as a team, we can change our future.
