Happy Earth Day!!!

I decided the best way to celebrate the holiday would be to finally install the porch garden I’ve been planning since I arrived in Korea. I have a few little herbs sprouting up already, but I’ve been slowly gathering soil, pots, and seeds to expand the project to a full ordeal. My porch is pretty small, but comes equipped with a GIANT sliding glass window so the sun pours right in all day long. Hopefully I’ll have pictures of the process (and the lovely final products) coming soon.

For now, go and watch this VIDEO on YouTube. It’s cute, short, and in my opinion inspiring. I love our planet! It’s tragic to think about what will happen if we don’t reverse our current rates of consumption and pollution. The earth gives us EVERYTHING we need to survive and thrive, and it’s our responsibility to give back a little and do what we can to take care of it. Regardless of your opinion on global warming and environmentalism, we can all do a little more to take care of our planet. Go recycle, plant some flowers, or hug a tree to celebrate!

    um, I LOVE YOU! and not only does reducing your consumption help the earth, it always REDUCES your monthly bills! why NOT be more environmentally friendly? aaron and i immediately switched all of our bulbs to florescents when we moved into our new apt. it cuts down the energy your use and cuts your energy bill down a lot. and with summer coming, we also bought a drying rack for our clothes so we don’t have to run the dryer as often. little things like that save energy AND money. win win! k, i love you!!!!!!!! happy (late) earth day!
