Do Something Little, Help Something Big

Energizer Canada and Evergreen are partnering in a big initiative to help encourage little changes to improve our communities and environments.  As a mom and writer and do-gooder, I wanted to participate in doing something little to help something bigger.

THE WHY: Both Energizer Canada and Evergreen are working together on their “Do Something Little, Help Something Big” initiative in which Energizer is proud to contribute $100,000 to Evergreen to make cities more livable.  (for more information click HERE)

THE PARENT CLUB PARTICIPATION:  here are 5 positive acts that we’re doing to make a big difference…

1. We live locally. (meaning: we walk more than we drive, we eat local, we buy local).  Less carbon emissions, supporting community business and better for physical activity levels)
2. We give away gently used clothing.  (meaning: we give it to charity or a consignment store where it is re-purposed and re-loved.  Less landfill and better recycling).
3. We turn off lights when we leave a room. (saves electricity!)
4. We pack a litter-less school lunch. (Less landfill and usually yummier than pre-packaged snacks)
5. We smile – at each other, at moms in strollers who pass by our swings, at neighbours across the road.  A smile has such positive energy all by itself.  It can light up a moment and change your whole day!

I encourage all of you, dear readers, to do a positive act everyday and should you choose share them over at Now That’s Positive Energy website http://bit.ly/qrnCEI (or comment below).

A little act can make a big change!
