Snaps of Spring!

For the last two weekends I handed out free Energy Star CFL's bulbs to Toronto residents.

I was excited, entertained, inspired and challenged by the public's reactions and responses to environmental issues like energy conservation and awareness.

Some people grumbled over change having to switch from incandescent bulbs to new, safer, and more sustainable options like CFL's. Others took the bulbs and felt inspired by business' who are helping them to do what they can for the environment... But it was the the people who took the bulbs but walked away sullen and still worried that one bulb was not enough change the world that got me feeling sad and thinking hard...

A friend and I talked about how global warming is like cancer... we may or may not be able to stop it but we sure can change our habits, behavior, and actions by boosting our environmental immune system... cancer has a hard time growing in a healthy environment. I have faith that the people I know who are fighting cancer will win... because they have slowed down, reconnected with their emotions and have chosen healthier options like yoga, meditation, good food and immune boosting supplements.

We can fight global warming the same way... by slowing down, reconnecting, choosing healthier actions and healthier food not only for us but for animals and the planet. Once you slow down you will see things not only start to make more sense but you will see how all things in nature are connected. This awareness will help you to see that one action even if it is a new CFL bulb to get you started will change you and our world for the better! I promise!

Here is a photo of the moon I took a few weeks ago... my new camera is so awesome! And what a moon!
