Happy 41st Earth Day! What is your Earth Day pledge?



Though today is Earth Day and celebrating this day brings awareness to how we should be taking care of Mother Earth, EVERY DAY SHOULD BE EARTH DAY!

In 2009, Patrick James of GOOD proposed an open call for commitments to Earth Day through pledges:

If you ask me, Earth Day is pretty much useless. You don’t get the day off of work. The parties are terrible. And, when the generally inconsequential day draws to a close, very little in the way of lasting impact has taken place-and even less takes place in the days, weeks, and months that follow. All that said, I don’t want Earth Day to be inconsequential. So this year, as I’m only somewhat delusional, I’m making an effort, on a small and personal level, to turn Earth Day into an impetus for lasting change.

James committed to reducing his red meat intake. Readers responded with pledges to use plastic bags less or ride bikes more often. This year GOOD asks for pledges again and reinforces that "The goal of these pledges is twofold: to infuse a stupid holiday with a modicum of meaningful action, and to commit to improving your relationship with the world around you."

I’m going to start an herb garden in my back yard.

  1. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.
