greetings my little chicklets! i've just spent 3 days in an environmental camp for school purposes and i had the time of my life. for 3 days (ONLY!), we lowered our carbon footprint, discussed eco-friendly ways, and had the best time doing it! NO electricity. NO cars (except for transportation to the camp). nothing but friends, easy schoolwork (yahoot!), the chesapeake bay, and a whole lotta trees! now, here i am, back on my computer and i think "how boring life is this way. i just had the time of my life and now im cooped up in a stuffy room? did i just lessen my rush?" there's nothing like having a rush. and now mine is almost completely diminished. problem? cha, i think so. so, this weekend, im gonna try to get back my rush. im gonna go all out, no cars this weekend and no electricity. im camping outside in the backyard! truly, it is absolutely POOP compared to real camping, but hey: its better than nothing. right? see ya on monday folks! -k- p.s. what environmental things give you guys a rush?

greetings folks!

sorry, i havent been on in awhile! relocating truly makes your life busier than you'd expect. Trust me, I've relocated 5 times in my short span of life on this ball of dirt. I heard one of my friends call the earth that and I found it quite comical

In the months that have past i have attempted at veganism, brainstormed for an environmental club for my middle school, and have taken up walking to and from school! to make up for my absence on my Greenpeace blog (once again, i apologize IMMENSELY!!), these activities seemed to have occured.

in the news today, i discovered that in dewey beach, delaware there is currently a beached whale; its body laying on the rocky sand (truly, it is rocky. i have been there once or twice and my feet sore just from the sight of the landscape!) therefore, i took up an interest with beached whales.

if anyone has any interesting tidbits or personal factuals of information they have discovered in their own daily life (or simply research) PLEASE PLEASE comment and tell me! i am quite intrigued by this subject and if it is preventable.

-k-

p.s. my cousin was sooo cute. when i brought up beached whales, he said "awesome!" we all looked at him with puzzled faces. he then said, "now when i go to the beach, i can look beside me and see a whale! we could go tubing together!" he's only seven and is the funniest boy i've ever met

 

Wow. 2009 is here. I didn't expect that we would be thrusted into a new year so quickly, but here we are: 2008 has been shoved out the window and 2009 is the new page in our book. When a new year comes and an old one goes, I always love to focus and remember what positive things 2008 brought us. 2008 brought... -more hybrid automobiles on the market -more awareness of global warming -a lot more organic clothing+food But, 2008 did not have many vegetarians or people protesting against animals cruelty. I only hope that 2009 brings more of these things. I'd like to know, what do fellow Greenpeace bloggers wish that the new year brings that 2008 did not? Thanks for listening :]
