How can I lead the way to eArtH dAy?

April 22

As we go about our everyday business, we don't notice the changes around us.  Who can remember the first time that a grocery store loaded our purchases into plastic bags.  When did the paper sacks disappear?  What about the first time you purchased bottled water?  What happened to the fountains in school hallways?  When computers were introduced, we were promised a "paperless society".  That didn't exactly happen.  Change just seems to creep in on cat's paws.  Suddenly, our world has transformed and subconsciously, so have our own patterns.  Sadly, many of us don't even notice that we are personally contributing to the destruction of our global environment.

eArtH dAy is a conscious effort to change the way we live and work. 

How can you lead a small portion of the effort with your family or on the job?  Yes, this is personal.
