Pink and Green Earth Day Thursday

I'm not here to harp, I promise, I'm here to nudge, me included. Even though I don't have children, I want to leave it better than I found it.

It's not something one person can change, it's not. It's gonna take a whole bunch of us to do it.

Had to slide a little fashion in here, made from trash this dress. Not bad! Do you recycle?

If you don't will you try? Guess what, I don't and I would love to lie to you about this, but I just don't, but I'm gonna change.

Imagine how happy I was to find this picture of a lady with a recycle bucket wearing pink and green. Score!

Imagine a world without flowers, just plastic ones. Ewwwwwwww.......


We have to stop using plastic bags, cups and bottles. We really, really do. It's tough I know, but we have to stop, we can do this readers right?



Do you know how many of these cute little bags I have bought, yet I still use the plastic ones. I am going to change this, I am so ashamed, especially claiming to be such a sea turtle activist. See it's not just you.

Do you know what a carbon footprint is? Do you really? Come on don't lie. I didn't for a long time and just pretended I did.

Your carbon footprint is the sum of all emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide), which were induced by your activities in a given time frame. Usually a carbon footprint is calculated for the time period of a year.

It's has nothing to do with cute shoes.

I carpool to reduce my carbon footprint, but this is another cute little pink option.

Ever played in the rain when you were having a bad day? What if our rain was toxic from the pollution? What a difference that would make in our lives. Brings a whole new meaning to Oh crap it's raining.



I believe that the Ocean and it's dwellers are some of the best that our Earth has to offer. Come go for a early Sunday morning dolphin cruise with me, and I'll show you why I feel this way.

A subject near and dear to both my heart and Captain John's is ocean pollution. Why would someone dump waste in the water? That water belongs to other inhabitants far more magnificent than humans. Geez this is a no brainer, but you would be sick to see how often it's done.


Don't throw your trash in the ocean, protect the wildlife please. And if you do, you better not let My Captain see you. That's trouble! In Bumpkin land this is referred to as "writing a check your ass can't cash."



Use environmental friendly cleaning products. I buy Method at Target or Lowes. They clean great and smell super wonderful, it's a little something we can do right?

I promised not to harp on you, but can I just say, people let's Go Green. Read here to find out how.


Read here how to stop global warming, or these guys will be gone by 2075. That's a long time, who cares right, we won't be here. Let me strengthen the impact. Food supply in 2010 for polar bears was 60% less than in 2000. Now do you feel the impact? Will we stand by and watch them starve into non-existence, or we will do something? Anything, just please let's do something.


Animals can do nothing to change their environment, they are helpless. We are not, readers, there is something that we can do. Even if you do just something small it's a contribution. Can I count on a committment from you of something small. I committ to unplugging all appliances in my house that aren't used regularly, and unplugging my electronic device chargers, when they are not actually charging the device. Okay that's two, but I really feel the need to contribute. Sad thing is we all need to, and we all don't. Make sense readers?

Finally, I can't let Earth Day pass by, without reminding every one, about one thing that should be a priority for every living earth inhabitant.

Our world needs peace.

Have you forgotten about our troops over there fighting for our freedom? Most people have, the papers never print the statistics anymore, the yellow ribbons are gone, the drives to send care packages are pratically non-existent. The only thing that remains strong, and focused are every woman and man in uniform there defending our country, who aren't home with the people they love. They my friends are stronger than we will ever know. Send one up for them today, will you?

Love,
The Bumpkin
