TMWW is proud to present our very first giveaway in honor of Earth Month! Going green is not as difficult as you would imagine. There are numerous ways in which you can help the environment, a lot of those we’ve posted here, but there are literally millions of ways you can help save the environment and prevent global warming.
Earth Hour was March 28th in which everyone turned off all their lights and appliances and (gasp!) computers too for one hour. According to statistics at Earth Hour, participants across 25 time zones in over 4,000 cities and towns in 88 countries, hundreds of millions of people “voted earth” in the world’s largest demonstration of public concern about climate change.
My six year old son, Tre, told me yesterday that he wanted to help the environment and ‘make the earth happy again’ by taking part in the The Big Green Help Power Down pledge at Nickelodeon in which kids across the world will turn off all their lights and electronics for one minute at 9PM on April 22nd. We got online and he pledged to do his part. He has already started early and has been my little ‘green’ helper…going around the house cutting off lights when nobody is in the room, turning off the television and radios, helping me with recycling – he’s a green advocate in the making I tell ya!
So what are you doing for Earth Day? Did you participate in Earth Hour? Have you been recycling? Cut back on your water usage? Composting for your garden? Tell us! We want to know!
TMWW is partnering with CoolPeopleCare, Inc. to give away to one lucky reader New Day Revolution – How to Save the World in 24 hours by Sam Davidson and Stephen Moseley.
New Day Revolution shows you how small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference. Next time you throw out the juice carton, take five seconds to compact it and save space in the landfill, or grab an extra box of crayons for your local school when you buy a box for your child. For people who feel they have little time, this first book from the duo that launched CoolPeopleCare.org gives helpful hints, practical tips, and step by step instructions on how to make a big difference in the local community and the world at-large with whatever time you have. We can't all be Jack Bauer, running down bad guys and defusing bombs - but we can all make an impact where we are with what we've got.
