It’s Tuesday, April 22 and it’s Earth Day. And it’s been snowing here for 5 days straight in a late spring snowstorm. We’ve had close to 30cm of snow (close to 12″) and still expecting another 5cm today. So in celebration of earth day I am not going to drive my car all day. Mostly because it would mean a whole lot of shovelling.

Here’s my poor corner garden & firepit. What you can’t see in the picture of course is the howling winds that are gusting to 40km/hr (almost 25 mi/hr).

In anticipation of spring I had started to put away the winter gear: the snow pants, boots, gloves, toques, scarves. The front hall was looking empty with only spring jackets, but we’re back to full winter gear laying everywhere again. The snow has piled against the front door so I have to shovel to get out. Yep, celebrating Earth Day inside.

My office is home based and online which means my main footprint is in power consumption from the computer & peripherals. I try to reduce the amount of documents I actually print, and I recycle paper by printing on the back of scrapped documents.

What’s your earth day solution?
