Earth Hour Inspiration for 2011

Friday, March 25, 2011 by Julie Urlaub
Imagine someone doing something nice for you right now.  A sincere compliment or holding the elevator for you.  It's a good feeling, isn't it?  Kindness has the ability to change us, and our emotions, immediately. 
 
As a professional and sustainability consultant, I see how kindness and sustainability are intrinsically linked.  While we are here on this planet, at this precise time in history, many of us want to make a difference in the way we treat our environment.  Many of us want to make a significant contribution to the role business takes in shaping our economy, society, and environment.  Sometimes, getting others to share our view is met with resistance. 
 
The easiest way to be kind to our planet and promote a sustainable lifestyle to others is by sharing with friends, neighbors, and in the community.  Sharing is a genuine expression of the value you find in the sustainability concepts that you embrace in your life.  Linking kindness with sustainable or green actions is one way to subtly introduce sustainability concepts to others.   Earth Hour, celebrated at 8:30 PM on Saturday 26th March 2011 is one way to express kindness to our planet and inspire others to eco action.  Together our eco actions add up and make a difference.  Join in for Earth Hour 2011 and lights off at 8:30PM local time.
