World Environment Day

June 5 is World Environment Day. It’s a good time to make an environmental pledge, start a green cause, or offer support to environmental groups.

I’m doing 3 things this year:

1.  Get a more accommodating compost bin for our kitchen waste.  We currently have two small pots with heaps of rotting fruit and vegetable peels.

2.  Buy more produce from local farmers to help reduce carbon emission.

3.  Plant a tree via Twitter.  You can do this too by following UNEPandYou on Twitter.  UNEP will plant one tree for every twitterer who follows their twits between now and June 5th, World Environment Day.

To gain a deeper understanding of our production and consumption patterns, watch Annie Leonard’s The Story of Stuff.
