Last week was ofcourse the fourth of July, and boy what a weekend. I just have to give kudos to my 6 year old son who (not the environmentalist that I am) upon the last day of camping and riding his bike came across a camp site (Sugar Creek Campground) and noticed that they left all their pepsi cans just laying around the campsite. SO he came back to the site and asked for a bag, Walmart bags are apparently good for something, so that he could pick up those cans and throw them away. I was quite pround of him!! Now i don't know if it was the thought of the joy of crushing all those cans or if there were some higher altruistic motivation behind his actions, but regardless the example that i have set of picking up other peoples trash or making sure he just doesn't throw his trash around has put a picture in his mind about how to treat trash and how to treat the environment. And this carried over to a change in his behavior. If a 6 year old can pick up on this i have faith that others can too and that the upcoming generations will be more environmentally aware than ourselves if we continue to change our behaviors.
That being said i have a few links for you Karnies:
First off a great Indiana site A Greener Indiana and you may notice I already have a link to thier site on the side bar, however i would really urge you that if your in the Indiana area to really check out thier calendar.
For all you news junkies and organic freaks ( Isay that with affection ) out there here is a good site that has lots of information regarding organic food stuffs and news tailored to your local area if you so choose to search that way OrganicConsumers.org and here is the Indiana link OrganicConsumers.org
Well that's all for now, hopefully i will have a more personal update on some local canoeing that i have been enjoying later this week or earlier next week!!
Take care, think of others, and be good to the earth!!
