Wednesday April 22, 2009 was the 39th Earth Day.  It always revitalizes my goal of treating everyday as if it IS Earth Day.  I think of “green” as an action and success color.  To me green symbolizes earth, nature, and life.   Especially, during Spring season, green IS life in abundance.  It signifies a renewal of life, health and the environment, while evoking a sense of calm, balance, harmony and stability.

My goal is to share with you ways to become Earth conscious, energy smart and optimally healthy.  So, when the following segment crossed my desk the other day, I felt compelled to share it with you.

Richgail Enriquez is a video journalist for Current TV and San Francisco IAM.

She  recently did a story on a neighborhood in the  SF Bay Area, where people
call a center to harvest their extra fruits and vegetables from their
backyards. The donations go to the needy and low income families.
People who signed up to participate get a tax deduction. The program is called:

“Gifts from Our Gardens”

Check in your local area to see if such a program exists or how, you may be able to  create one. Perhaps, you could even start a community garden.  Another way to help, is by donating to your local food bank, or shopping at Farmer’s Markets.

Here’s another story she  did on SF Bay area youth involvement in the “green” movement.

Here, also is another one of my favorite sites from National Geographic.  It is the “Green Guide to Everyday Living”.  I hope you find this information as inspirational and helpful in your quest to live “green” as I do.  Here’s to working toward a better tomorrow!
