Could you go 24 hours without using your computer? On May 3, 2008 many will shut down for the day and not use their desktop or laptops. Why? Because  it’s Shutdown Day, which  gets people to think about how their lives have changed since using a laptop or desktop in everyday life. 

So on May 3, 2008 all you have to do is shutdown your computer for the whole day and find something else to do than be on your computer all day. This time will be great for getting outdoors, or spending time with family and friends. It’s just a day to remind you that there is a world that still exists outside your monitor screen and office. 

With Earth Day fast approaching what ways are you helping to “save the planet”!This year I was part of Earth Hour by shutting off the lights and electronics in my home for more than an hour that evening.

Along with that, I’m doing my part by conserving energy & water, recycling and using more “earth friendly” products in my home from cleaning to not using harmful pesticides in my garden this year. Plus I’m making that effort to even to use safe and earth friendly products in my home when I start to do some spring remodeling like painting, an other spring tasks that I’ll be doing this summer and spring.

I’m also considering replacing the carpet in my home soon and have consider in getting bamboo flooring instead of traditional flooring. Why Bamboo? Because it not only looks great as floors, but also is a renewal resource too. It takes less time for bamboo trees to grow into adult trees than regular trees like oak, cherry, maples, etc.

So just with a little effort you can also can do your part in making the world/earth a better place to live.
