The real Baird Environmentalists

11 05 2008

Craig and Layla Baird (any relation?) are in the midst of a year of being more earth friendly and along the way they’re blogging.

Their new blog “Our Green Year” has a mission statement that reads:

Follow us throughout the year as we make daily posts to show what we are doing to reduce our carbon footprint, what you can do, and how much what we do actually helps.

It is informative, it is fun and it is a special journey.

On Day 4 of their personal challenge their blog indicates they gathered snow which they will use for lawn watering, saving 5.3 gallons of water.  They’re using the simple tactics that many of us have caught on too as well like eliminating 384 plastic bags from their lives by using the popular cloth grocery bags.  On Day 8 they did something I did two years ago and installed only energy-efficient light bulbs.

Their blog has tips and quirky stories on how we all can be a little bit more friendly to the planet we live on.

My friends Craig and Layla are in NO relation to John Baird… and I think what they are doing is great! Myself and a number of my friends have also joined their facebook group, ” our green year ” and I encourage your readers to join as well.

Well, when I see them burn their drivers licence and turn off their utilities in the middle of a blizzard, at -40, then I might take them seriously. I’ve implimented much of the things the are telling people to do years ago. Get a life and just fight pollution like most Canaa citiczens are doing.

The most effective way to fight pollution, is to never ever give david Suzuki another second of camera time again. If he will lie to us about global warming, [ and he did ] then he will lie to us about anything.
