It's 104 outside. Is it Global Warming or just natural weather patterns? One has to wonder. Recently I called a honey farmer to ask about advertising with the magazine I work for and he confirmed that he just didn't have many bee's. Environmentalist like me talk a lot about the ENVIRONMENT. What exactly does that mean and why is it so polarizing between political parties?
So think of it like this: Your, Our Environment is the lake you swim in. The mountain you hike. The country road you drive down to see wildflowers. The peaches that all died from a May frost this year. The trail you bike. The sky above. The grass below. The air you breath. The ocean you visit.
No doubt you can figure that I am a liberal democrat by reading my blogs, however, that does not change that we share the same environment. Yours, Mine, Ours,there is no separation.
1. Quit using the chemical cleaners. The absolute best thing you can do is
use baking soda, soap flakes, vinegar, Borax, and Bon Ami. The cleaners you use filter down into the ground and run off into streams and lakes. Think of a coffee maker, All that yucky chemical stuff drains right through that dirt, i.e. coffee into the pot, i.e. your lake of stream or ocean.
2. Turn of your fans to high and turn the air up. Drink ice water. Keep cool while using less air conditioning.
3. Eat low on the food chain. Beans, Grains, etc.... you know the drill. It should look most similar to how it comes from the land. Meat and processed food takes a lot of energy to produce and get to your table.
Namaste'
