This is the day. Today is the day to think a different thought. Today is the day to take a new action. Today is a day for a change.
What are the different thoughts that you can have today? You can think about how to save water (no surprise coming from me). You can think about how to conserve energy. You can think about where you are putting your trash. I ask that you don’t think about all of them today, pick just one.
When you start your new thought, decide that it is going to lead to actions that can be linked to your new thoughts.
Thought: Water your plants with unused drinking water.
Thought: Turn off the light when you leave the room.
Thought: Rinse out all glass containers before recycling.
Thought: Give your old tennis to Nike for recycling.
Thought: Give your old stuff to Goodwill after you buy new stuff.
Why today? Why not today? When will you start thinking a new thought, if not today?
