Today I stumbled on this article: http://www.cracked.com/article_19123_6-socially-conscious-actions-that-only-look-like-they-help.html. And I feel like a yahoo.
I can admit that I am the dork who is guilty of four of the five. But I totally would have donned rubber gloves and raced to the shores of Galveston with my Dawn soap if they’d let me last year. Oops.
Trying to be socially/environmentally conscious is hard! I love the idea that doing simple things really can make a difference, but I’m obviously struggling along with the rest of the urbanites to find the right-little-things. So my goals to actually be successful:
1. Grow a garden this summer
2. Take my bags into the store
3. Park Neptune for a whole month
4. Vacation without making it harder on those who have it the hardest
