Earth Gratitude on Earth Day. Free Teleconferences This Week.

​Are you alarmed by the reports of global warming, of sea levels rising, of islands disappearing, of an island of plastic floating in the ocean, of the predictions that, at the current rate, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish in just a few short decades?
 
Did you know that:
 
* We already have our first climate refugees (from Louisiana).
* On sunny days during high tides, fish and seawater flood the streets in Miami.
* The mighty Colorado River has dried up 50 miles short of the ocean?
* 62% of the U.S. electric grid is still powered with fossil fuels?
 
Global warming isn't something we have to worry about tomorrow. It's here now. 
 

What can you do?
There are quite a lot of things that everyday folks can do to breathe cleaner air, preserve their fresh water, reduce their plastic usage and promote a healthy planet. I was so impressed with the 4-9 year olds at Damers First School in Poundbury, England, and their outstanding teacher Edd Moore, that I proclaimed them to be England's most powerful green lobby, on my ThriveGlobal blog. (See the picture of Queen Elizabeth visiting with the children below.) The Damers School students are showing how bad habits can be replaced overnight, so that each one of us can "be the change we wish to see."

On Wednesday, April 3, 2019, at noon ET (9 am PT), I will interview Edd Moore and a few of the Damers School children for their tips on how we as individuals can inspire our town, county and even country to eliminate plastic, reduce our fossil fuel usage and eat healthier.
 
The following day, on Thursday April 4, 2019 at noon ET, Governor Bill Ritter, Colorado’s 41st governor and a director at the Colorado State University Center for a New Energy Economy, will enlighten us on technological developments in clean energy and steps each one of us can take toward a fossil-free future.
 
You can call into both teleconferences at: 347.215.7305. Listen back links for both teleconferences are at BlogTalkRadio.com/NataliePace.

Host Your Own Earth Gratitude Celebration
On April 22nd, Earth Day, we're encouraging everyone to power up the gratitude and power down the pollution, getting as close to personal net zero as possible for at least one hour. What kind of celebration can you create that is both fun and life-transformational? Be epic. Observe the fresh insights that flood our awareness and the world consciousness. Challenge your friends. Organize an awesome community net zero event. Include the hash tag #EarthGratitude when you share your pictures and video, so that we can like and reshare.
 
Contributors to the Earth Gratitude project include: HH The Dalai Lama, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales (the heir to England's throne), Elon Musk, Deepak Chopra, Arianna Huffington, Kathleen Rogers (the president of the Earth Day Network), Life is Good, WildlifeDirect, Global Green, the NRDC, Green Our Planet and many more. Some of their tips for a memorable Earth Gratitude celebration include:
 

• Test driving an electric car
• Riding a bike to the park or the beach
• Having a candlelit potluck with the leftover food in your refrigerator
• Removing single-use plastic from your life forever
• An unplugged drum circle under the stars
• Removing the grass from your child’s school and planting outdoor learning gardens
