How can we as a people become a force of nature? How can we help lower our individual carbon footprint? How can a children’s book story become a constructive message? These are the questions I asked myself in preparation for writing Once Upon A Time-bomb.

These are the questions we face with regard to global warming. We need to lower the temperature – literally. We need to help prevent sea level rise, hurricanes, and fires. We need to find solutions: less driving, more gardens, fewer farm animals, more renewable energy, and better cooperation.

Begin your list as to what you can do to help the world around you. Remember the 6 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink, Repair, and Refuse. If we all chip in, and demand that our leaders do the same, the world can be a better place for generations to come.

Help do your part and follow the 6 R's

Reduce

Reduce amount of single use items: Plastic containers, utensils, foils, wraps, bags, cups, etc. Reduce your utilities – shorter showers, turn off the AC, use less gas – ride a bike, walk, or use public transportation.

Reuse

Re-use containers and jars for other purposes. Re-use packing materials, boxes, gift wrap and ribbons. Replace disposable items with reusable alternatives – water bottles, coffee cups and bags.

Recycle

Recycle plastic, glass, metal, paper. Recycle electronics, household items and clothes to someone less fortunate by recycling for charity – do your research, make sure it goes to charity and not a landfill.

Re-think

Re-think when you are shopping, eating and storing foods. Re-think if you really need that item. Consider the complete environmental impact when making purchases and decisions.

Repair

Repair items that are broken before replacing them. Repairing electronics when possible is the first line of defense to preventing e-waste and reducing your environmental impact.

Refuse

Refuse take-out styrofoam and plastic containers, and extra sauces, napkins and packaging. Refuse plastic bags, bottles of water, etc. Use your own reusable containers, bags and bottles

We are all in this together. We know what do.
Now that you have read this, you do too!
