Isn't this the best title or slogan or anthem for a family who is devoted to minimizing its impact on the planet? No shirking responsibilities here! No waiting for others to jump in; no making commitments for next week. It's now!
Knowing this family personally, I attest to the rigorous way they arrange their lifestyles to practice what everyone else is preaching. Mom, Julie, manages the family blog, which is now in it's 79th post in one year! The array of issues they have tackled and internalized is enormous.
What makes our connection currently noteworthy is that we both addressed water in our posts this week. Clean, fresh, accessible water. Their post, as you may expect, deals with actions to take right now with bottled water and the water barons who are milking watersheds worldwide. They have also alerted us to the documentary "FLOW".
We all try to make the best decisions each week to keep our footprint light. There is always a certain "training-ourselves" time whenever we add positive behaviors to our list. Sometimes we don't quite get into that training mode. "We Are The Them" can help all of us get seriously motivated. Now.
(Hey, Ben!)
