If what our buddie Thomas said is true, it stands to reason that people need a good cause to choose to act.
I found a good one; maybe you’ll think so too. Here’s the scoop.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Canada has launched Pin it for the Planet. It’s simple and broken down into 3 simple steps.
The top 8 reason I bike to work:
I hope they encourage you to try it for yourself or motivate you to continue. After all it is National Bike Month, and May 10-15 is the 2nd annual Bike 2 Work Week Regina.
It’s Earth Day today, which is awesome. Any opportunity to turn the world’s attention to the intensifying situation on our planet is good. I personally see being an “environmentalist” and physically active as two intertwined things. So on Earth Day when the focus is so vast and overwhelming, and you’re just looking for some way to participate on a smaller scale here is an idea for you.
Today is a huge day for me. Recently I made a decision that will massively affect my whole life. It’s scary and intimidating for sure. At the same time it’s exciting, bold and in great ways life altering.
Here’s the deal; I decided to buy a bike and adopt it as my main means of transportation. If you’re thinking whoa that’s a pretty big thing to take on.. you’re right!
Today was day 1, and the benefits of choosing active transportation are clear…
It’s been a week since our provincial gathering, Inspiring Action-Jump in 2010! I’ve spent a lot of time pondering what I learned from the event and our guest speaker Severn Cullis-Suzuki.Severn shared a lot of personal stories about her work within the environmental movement to explain how she became a young leader. We wanted the hundreds of youth in the audience and across the province to understand the incredible potential they have to be at the forefront of positive change.
Severn broke it down like this:
An Environmentalist at A Physical Activity Gathering?
Severn Cullis-Suzuki is known throughout the world for her work in the environmental movement. Why then would Saskatchewan in motion invite her to be the guest speaker at out provincial gathering?
Physical Activity has basic requirements. Ultimately you need a reason to do it, a nourished and hydrated body, and finally a space to get er’ done. We need our environment so we can be active in nature. At the same time, there are a lot of things we can do to be active that are not only good for our bodies, they’re good for the environment too.
Today is a really exciting day. It is blog Action day! This day was created to ignite a discussion. Bloggers from around the world take one day to focus on a single issue. This effectively changes the global conversation on the web and refocuses attention on an important issue. I think now more than ever the focus is where is should be, on climate change. The simple truth is, if you live on this planet you impact it. Ultimately through all my searching I realized that no issue stands alone. Physical Inactivity has its way of contributing to the global climate crisis.
