Doing What? Taking the Oregon Environmental Council Family Pledge, natch! We're gonna make three changes in or around our home, because a healthy and safe environment starts at home! And don't worry, mamas, you get to choose which three changes to make - there are 11 to choose from. No-one's dictating what you have to do differently - except you. Chinese New Year resolutions!
The changes range from pledging to not use plastics in the microwave to buying renewable energy for your home. Sign up online or download it and mail it in [Download oec_family_pledge.pdf]. Of course, if you do it on-line you'll get it in faster, and if it you get in faster you're more likely to, uh-huh, get the tee-shirt!!
The Tee-Shirt. It's not that we're all about the tee-shirt, the goodie bag, the perks. But, in the event you might be inspired to take the pledge by glimpsing the fabulous tee-shirt logo...go ahead, sneak a peak! Download ecohealthy_kid_t.pdf
While some have said that sweeping environmental change will not happen home by home (but rather elected official by elected official), environmental health for your family must happen at home. So sign up, mamas, and start makin' change.
It was easy reading through the list and see how small steps can help. Don't microwave plastic? Wow, I can do that. Use biodegradable cleaning supplies? Check. I can make that change. Thanks for sharing.
