Take the Earth Hour to Earth Day Challenge
They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. (We're not sure who 'they' are, but 'they' do say smart things - sometimes.)
And here's your chance to form a very green habit: between Earth Hour (celebrated around the world on March 28th at 8:30 PM) and Earth Day (internationally recognized on April 22nd), we'll send out a special edition email, highlighting an organization, a program, an initiative or a resource that can help you develop eco-friendly habits and behaviors so that you can live a more caring lifestyle.
This will be in addition to our regular weekdaily email that comes out each morning at 5 AM. This one will hit the inboxes around lunchtime, offering you a way to spend your afternoon and save the world before the sun sets.
All you have to do is sign up to the right and get ready to develop habits that will take you from Earth Hour to Earth Day (and then hopefully, Earth Life?). Or, if email was so last year for you, get the updates via Twitter.
What about taking a bigger step towards saving the world?
Want to diver deeper into this whole thing? Want to motivate others to live the same life that you do, conserving resources and making a difference?
Then take the Earth Hour 2 Earth Day Challenge!
What can you do to save the world in 3 and a half weeks? 26 days? 624 hours? 37,440 minutes? 2,446,400 seconds? We think you can do a lot.
So, we're challenging you to do one thing each day that educates someone else as to the very green changes they could make in their life. Here are some ways to do that:
- Post on your blog what you're doing to make it from Earth Hour to Earth Day
- Send a tweet to your followers that includes a link to an informative article about climate change
- Join a Facebook eco-conscious group each day
- Send daily text messages to your friends to reduce, reuse or recycle
- Upload pictures of the earth's beauty to your Flickr account
- Tell the world via YouTube about an environmental cause you care about
- Change your email signature, sending people to an informative Web site
