Today is Blog Action Day. Yes, yes it is. This is Yoda’s little drop in the bucket. Yes yes it is. I think I’m beginning to sound a bit like Matt Pond when I write– yes, yes I am.

My little attempt to help green our planet, I suggest that everybody try taking a little vacation from their cars, and put some public transportation or muscle mass (aka ride a bicycle!) to use. If you need help or information on how, or why, try visiting the Transportation Alternatives site. Not only will you feel better, but the world will feel better. Which, you know, means that in the long run, we’ll all feel better! And feeling better is good.

Fellow blogger Anja Merret has some interesting things to say. What strikes me in particular is her vow to attempt a more “paperless” office. As someone who spends a large amount of time in an office environment each week, it amazes me the amount of paper saved by this little thing called email. If we all made a concentrated effort to print only what we needed to, to recycle scratch paper, and to make use of digital recordings (ie using highrise to take messages, or using basecamp instead of interoffice memos) we could probably save millions of trees. That’s a lot of air– so we can continue to take deep breathes and calm ourselves down, from all the stresses of life.
