ENVIRO - YOU

The only thing I will throw out my car window is an apple core - I know that some animal will enjoy it later that day. And even when I have finished eating my apple and am ready to get rid of the sticky remains, I feel so guilty about littering that I wait until no one is behind me before I toss it out the window. ( I don't consider throwing out something that is biodegradable as littering but I think that someone who sees me throwing something out the window may think it is just trash and will think badly of me - talk about guilt complex!)

With that in mind, I got upset this morning as I was coming home from Flemington, NJ. I saw a woman throw a piece of paper out the driver's side window. I am not sure why this angered me so much. I guess because, more than ever before, we hear so much about protecting the environment. NOT littering is one extremely easy way for each of us to play a part in the overall "clean up the environment" movement.


The first part of May George and I were vacationing in St. John. (Yes, we were on vacation - just the two of us - no relatives or friends tagging along - it was wonderful) St. John is a very dry island. All the drinkable/usable water is either brought onto the island form the mainland, stored in cisterns (rainwater), or converted from sea water. People all over the island take very short showers and conserve water however they can. Upon our return to New Hope, I became more aware of my water consumption and REALLY appreciated my first hot shower that first day home.

At some later date I think I will post information on how we can each do more to save energy and resources. Small changes in our lives today can protect resources that our grandchildren will have access to in years to come.

Note:
Due to an increase in spam to the Free Monthly Drawing AND because I am having trouble contacting monthly winners (most likely because they have their own spam filters), I am now requiring Free Monthly Drawing entrants to include their complete contact information. If you would like to enter the drawing but do not wish to submit your contact information, you can call me at 215-862-6489.
