Happy Earth Day

[Nicole Marie]

Now go do something good to Mother Earth and plant a tree, build a compost pile and make sure you recycle.<P>Visit <A HREF="http://www.earthday.net" TARGET=_blank>www.earthday.net</A> and take the Ecological Footprint Quiz and see how wasteful of a person you are. The average American uses 24 acrs per person to live - which is very wasteful. The average person only needs 4.5 or lower to live. See how you fit in.<p>[ 04-22-2003: Message edited by: Nicole Marie ]

Well, I turned out to match the national average: 24 acres.<BR> <P>However, this week we planted six trees (if you can call those twigs "trees") (that offsets my big yard?) and I always take public transportation to work.

I work from home so expend no fuel to go to work.

Hmmm. My footprint is 13 acres. Maybe I should plant a shrub alongside the freeway somewhere. A nice oleander, perhaps?

I turned my compost pile and started a new one. I planted 12 trees (Mullberries for the birds). I feed the wild birds. And, I stayed home. And, I got my horses their shots for West Nile Virus.<P>Unfortunately, I had to use some electricity to log onto Beethoven Radio.<p>[ 04-22-2003: Message edited by: dkm32 ]
