Acts of kindness for our planet

The state of our environment necessitates immediate action on the part of all of us. In this time of environmental crisis, we need to pull together with each one of us contributing many small acts of kindness to our planet.

Plant a tree. Replace your worn out appliances with energy efficient ones. Use a rain harvesting system for your irrigation. Add a porch on the sunny side of your home. Replace your window glass with low E glass. Insulate attic spaces and add roof ventilation. Finally, the next time you replace your car, buy a hybrid.

If every year each person did one act of kindness the compounding effect would be enormous. We all need to work together to save our planet and put pressure on our legislators to create incentives that would encourage big business to do the same. Suzi Moore McGregor
