April Fools or Earth Day!

4/1/2020

Picture
I had a person come to me at work a few years ago and tell me we needed to have more fun at work; our company was just not that much fun to work for. I told that person that I was not a very fun guy, so, if he would build a plan, I would put him in charge. He did, and I did, and it worked very well. 

Today is April Fool's Day, (AND EARTH DAY!) and it seems like a good day to do something fun, especially as we all wait out the curve flattening. But my old problem still dogs me. 

But today i got a newsletter from the San Francisco Public Library with suggestions for books to read during these times, and in recognition that this is Earth Month. And so, i offer you a different kind of fun, and, of course, much health. 

Stay sheltered, sign up for Deep Green (NOW!) and forward this to a friend, asking them to join us.

Five Essential Ways to Take Action for Earth
​
  • Become a recycling pro. Recology SF now recycles Tetra Paks, bundled plastic bags, CDs and more. See everything you can recycle at sfrecycles.org.
  • Use the Environmental Working Group’s Healthy Living App when choosing products (sunscreen, toothpaste) to buy. Ratings are based on health and sustainability. Download the app.
  • Unused medicine is a threat to public health and the environment. SF’s Department of the Environment provides a list of locations that can dispose of meds properly at sfenvironment.org/meds.
  • Feel good about eating right by choosing sustainable seafood with help from Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch.
  • Receive 100% renewable energy with CleanPowerSF’s SuperGreen program.
