Happy Earth Day! It's Tuesday - Tip-Day for PreMeditated Acts of Kindness - and the Earth is recipient of my 'kindness' today. My 2008 Resolution is to 'Show Gratitude' for my blessings by 'Giving Back'. The point behind PreMeditated Acts Of Kindess is to give more conscious thought to my actions and the way that I treat others - and the way that I treat 'myself'. In 2008 I'm urging folks to join me and do the same - to work at being kind because it's the 
right thing to do, without worrying about receiving anything in return, be it kind gesture or word, though my experience is that kindness shown is usually returned in kind.
Today, in honor of Earth Day, I'm urging folks to think about something that they can do to protect and preserve the environment. If recycling, Global Warming, and Carbon Footprints aren't part of your vocabulary, but you're ready to learn - why not make a decision to 'go for it' today? Take your first step and begin educating yourself about what you can do to protect and preserve the environment having a look at these assorted links which provide a wide array of information:

Personally, in honor of Earth Day, I've made a decision to buy canvas bags to replace the plastic bags that I receive at stores. Since January 1, I've gradually been paring back. I'm taking that effort one step further in May by purchasing an assortment of bags for grocery and other shopping, so that I can reduce my plastic bag use to 'near zero'.
