October 13 is a day to "UNPLUG," turn off the TV and radio, shut off the taps, take a walk and leave the fossil-fuel burning vehicle at home. It's only one day but it's the first step towards restoring our land and resources - to reflect on how much we actually consume - individually, nationally and globally - a starting to act for future generations.
It is an exciting opportunity to explore other choices, ways of life that are healthy and sustainable - a Celebration of Life honoring the interdependency of all species.
What's the big deal about consumption?
Everything we consume has an impact on the environment. Where does your power come from? Your paper? Your gas? Where does your garbage go?
No one is saying to go freeze in the dark. It has to do with taking only what you need and being a responsible human being. We need to take action and save our resources. Our future depends on it.
NOW IS THE TIME
All of us, together, must make a change - from a society based on consumption to one based on survival. Sustainable practices are one key to accomplish the needed changes for generations to come.
We invite you to join UNPLUG America - Give Mother Earth a Rest Day.
