Earth day - coming up ...

Climate change is certainly happening, and while our planet and the cool dude you see under the heat camera in this photo may be warming up, it sure didn't feel like it today.
Today was "hang your clothes out to dry day" but when I woke up ( at work) this morning there was a winter wonderland out the window. Who would think to see several inches of snow in our neck of the woods on April 19th !!!
Vancouver Island had it worse than we did though, with Nanimo recording 24 cms !
However, it's a good reminder that our planet is in crisis and Tuesday ( April 22nd) is another opportunity to learn about what you can do to help out. There are lots of good web sites with links for ideas, and events across Canada. www.ecokids.ca and www.earthday.ca are good places to start.
Happy Earth Day everyone. Go Green.

Spring is slowly springing, at least in our part of the country. Today the rain is pounding down - oops, now the hail is pounding down. Soon however it will be time once again to give the dryer a break and start hanging our clothes out on the line for that fresh clean linen smell !
Clothes dryers emit an average of 1,440 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, drying your clothes on a clothesline in the spring and summer can prevent an estimated 700 pounds of carbon dioxide per average household from being released. Not to mention the considerable savings on your electric bill !
April 19th is national hang your laundry out to dry day, so I say, let's let it all hang out !
