Blog Action Day can make a difference!
This is how I feel most days… if you can’t see the picture here, it’s a green dragon dressed in full metal holding a sword at ready. If it’s not a mom thing, like today submitting the H1N1 form to my son’s school stating that under no circumstances are they to administer any vaccine to him, it’s a business thing, like trying to be in two places at one time or making a handful of people happy in the same day, it’s just life.
But today is even more important. Today I’m in warrior mode as part of a global action to bring attention to climate change. This is something I strongly believe in and want to do my part personally and professionally. That’s the best any of us can do.
In a letter from Bill Mckibben co-founder of 350.org, he says “The number is 350, and it’s now the most important number on the planet. 350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, measured in parts per million. Since we’re at 390 ppm now, it’s a tough number, and getting back to it will require remarkable efforts. The good news is that people all around the world are mobilizing around 350 in a unique and beautiful movement to solve the
climate crisis.”
On a global level, I support 350.org and their efforts to bring attention to this critical issue. On a local level, I’m part of a small group of energetic people who are taking action in our own community with Sustain Floyd. My son & I were there for this picture below taken to submit to the UN next week. I’ll also be at the Split Rail Eco Fair on Saturday, October 24 in downtown Floyd, Virginia, recognizing how community, local or global, can come together for a common purpose. Join us!
