One Day Without Shoes

So I know this isn't on the subject of the environment, but it's still a good cause for improving the world. Today is One Day Without Shoes, a movement through TOMS shoe company. They are doing this to spread awareness for all those who go without shoes every day.

I also think it's awesome that they donate a pair of shoes for every pair that is purchased. :)

Stumbling around....

I was on StumbleUpon today and came across a site called Conservation International. It seems like a really cool site; I plan on spending some more time exploring it and seeing what it's all about. But until then, I thought I'd share it with you guys. If you click the Make A Difference tab on the home page, you can find tips for living green, ways to reduce your impact, and some other cool things. Go check it out!

First post!

Hey everyone! I was recently inspired to start a blog, and decided to base my blog on the environment. The last few years, I've been figuring out who I am and what I want to do with my life, and I've reached the conclusion that I want to do something to improve nature. Although I'd love to, I probably won't be putting an end to global warming or saving a rainforest just by writing a blog, but hopefully I'll inspire some of you to think about the environment a bit more and make some sort of difference. My intent is to write about things I come across, and share some links and ideas that I've found. I hope everyone who reads this will enjoy it.

So here's entry #1. I hope it has caught your interest and that you'll keep on reading. I promise to try to keep it exciting! :P

Thank you for reading!
