☆ Carbon Footprint of… Tea and Coffee?! ☆

Another awesome infographic coming your way, today by "Green Steve" regarding the carbon footprint of your tea and coffee! While the original post is directed at you lovely brits overseas, and while the statistics are from the UK, I think the lesson itself can easily be applied to North America, if not most of the world. It's all about being more conscious of our footprints and doing what we can to reduce them. Small steps add up, never forget that. 

So, without further ado, check out the carbon footprints of your tea and coffee! ;)

☆ Earth Hour 2012! ☆

Reminding everyone to turn their lights out for at least one hour, Saturday March 31st 8:30pm-9:30pm in your local time zone. Participate in this year's Earth Hour! Add your voice to the movement! :) 

"In March 2007 Earth Hour began in, Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and over 2,000 businesses turned out their lights and took a stand against climate change. From just one city Earth Hour quickly became an annual global event. More than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2011. Earth Hour 2011 also ushered in a new era with members going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action for the planet. Without a doubt, Earth Hour has shown how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.

Earth Hour is organised by the World Wildlife Fund and a dedicated network of volunteers around the world."

Find out more about Earth Hour and events happening in your community on their webpage!

☆ Santa's Carbon Footprint ☆

This is kind of funny and interesting at the same time. I stumbled across this article on the Care2 daily newsletter with the lovely illustrated graph by Ethical Ocean. It makes us take a closer look at the impact of this annual holiday and makes suggestions for reducing our own footprint at this time of year. Let's make the Holiday Season jolly and environmentally sound for everyone!
