July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Prompt: How are you making the world a better place for those that come after you? Write about this in your Blog entry today. Hi. from ApondiaGeography and Environmental studies taught me about the term footprint on the earth. Now I look for ways to make our footprint smaller. One way I discovered is Earth Breeze Laundry Detergent. The packaging is better than plastic bottles. The county I live in does not recycle so we have to find good ways to recycle. Less plastic is better. Plus,for every one of the product sold Earth Breeze donates laundry Detergent to worthwhile causes. I accomplished some research about plastic waste; when I wrote some articles for Journalistic Intentions on  . Plastic waste is a major concern to planet Earth. It is causing extreme havoc to the waterways of the planet.I was personally startled by the real threat to lifeforms that live in water ways, both saltwater and fresh water environments. There is a plan in place to clean the oceans which is good news. Nevertheless, using fewer plastic bottles will help.Then, we tried out a corn burning stove to replace our wood furnace. Corn burns hotter than wood and is also a faster renewable resource than wood. It also burns cleaner than wood putting less pollution into the air. Another plus, it is a money crop for farmers. Over the years I have been trying to recycle useful articles from my home that we no longer need. We began insulating strongly to make the house easier to heat. This will still be an ongoing work effort in the next few years. Just a few of the practical ways to be helpful to the Earth and leave a worthwhile legacy. Spend some meditative time in nature today. It's good for your health. |
