World Sustainability Day, October 30. 4 Ways to Celebrate. Tomorrow is World Sustainability. Learn ways to reduce personal CO2, to save thousands annually with smarter choices (literally), and to hold corporations accountable, in my bestseller, The Power of 8 Billion: It’s Up to Us. Below are 4 suggestions for celebrating the day. 4 Ways to Celebrate World Sustainability Day, October 30 Ride a Bike, Walk, Take Public Transportation, or Telecommute, instead of Driving Buy Bulk Goods (instead of plastic packaging) and Support Regenerative Agriculture Plant a Garden at Home or Your Local School (Get Rid of the Grass) Opt for Natural Fibers Over Plastic Clothes (polyester) and Shoes (rubber) Ride a Bike, Walk, Take Public Transportation, or Telecommute, instead of Driving Transportation is the biggest CO2 emitter. It is one of the reasons why many Europeans have a personal CO2 footprint that is 1/3 or less of Americans, Australians, Canadians and people living in the Middle East. Can you go a day without driving on October 30? If you can go a day without driving tomorrow, will it start a trend of a bike commute that will improve your health, while saving thousands of dollars annually that would have gone to the gas station, insurance company, bank (monthly payment) and repair shop? Buy Bulk Goods (instead of plastic packaging) and Support Regenerative Agriculture Are you aware that over half of each barrel of oil goes to make plastic, polyester, asphalt, rubber, vinyl and other petrochemical products? It’s easy to have oil touch every aspect of our lives, until we get mindful of what things are made of. Many cities have coops and farmers markets where we can purchase food that is not wrapped in plastic. If your city doesn’t, why not ask the local grocery store to? Did you know that there is a link between pesticides and Type 2 diabetes? There are many other adverse effects and outcomes, including a sad and strong link to Parkinson’s Disease in farmers, and other neurological disorders with people who have long-term exposure. Cancer is a risk, as well. On the brighter side of things, regenerative agriculture offers food that is more nutrient-dense, while the healthy soil is a powerful CO2 storehouse, drawing down CO2 from the atmosphere. As a consumer, we can support the important work of our farmer/carbon stewards by purchasing our food products from regenerative farmers. (Opting for organic and local is a great step in the right direction for our personal health, and the health of our home planet.) Plant a Garden at Home or Your Local School (Get Rid of the Grass) Grassy lawns are a last-century fad that is rapidly being replaced with native plants. However, why not take it a step further, and plant a garden at home or at your local school? Organizations like Good Neighbor Gardens assist with planting and harvesting backyard plots. The Edible Schoolyard Project offers hands-on, outdoor learning curriculum and how-to videos, while Green Our Planet helps PTAs raise the funds to establish gardens at school. Opt for Natural Fibers Over Plastic Clothes (polyester) and Shoes (rubber) Most of us just aren’t aware that polyester and rubber are made from oil. Crocs are melted nurdles. We wouldn’t bathe in oil, and it just doesn’t make sense to sweat in it either. Learn more in my Temu and Fast Fashion blogs. There are many other ways to go green – that save thousands in our budget to boot. Check out inspiring projects from around the globe in the 5-part docuseries at EarthGratitude.org.

Call me extreme, but I believe that with the problem of over-population, the most effective solution to save Mother Earth is suicide.
