Last weekend my daughter and I went to Jericho Beach park to celebrate Earth Day with the festival goers there. I had a great time listening to the music and meeting people who share my feeling that environmental change must happen.
I am adding some new links to my “Sources of Inspiration” page because of the dedicated people met there. Maybe some workshops will happen because of this event. Next year, my book will be out and I hope to be able to host workshops at all these community events.
Right now I am trying to obtain lists of “The Top Ten Most Important Environmental Actions” that an individual can do. I want these to come from environmental organizations because I am not really an expert — I just try to do the best I can. Maybe I will find out some things that I can add to the actions I already do.
I am hoping to include these lists in my book, website or on the disk to help people think of practical pledges. I have my personal favourites, and I have used some in the example arrangement of the Live More Lightly Song, but I think it would be best if there were several sources of inspiration for the lists.
I saw a Free Geek table set up there and got additional contact information. I have to admit I was a bit cross because during all this Ubuntu work I have been trying to contact them and here they are at Earth Day. The volunteer explained that they had moved and changed their phone set-up so my calls for help may have been lost. I apologized for my testiness, but I had been trying to phone them on and off for months. I did not think it was a good idea to set up an exhibit and give out cards with phone numbers, then not answer any calls. I am still hoping to get some help with Ubuntu as the volunteer was very nice, even though I was a bit upset at first.
There are so many things to organize, but I hope to find more help soon and I am grateful to everyone who has contributed so far.
