For many, the holiday season ends on the 25th. and focus shifts to a New Year celebration. Remember the holiday song – On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me? Many cultures and traditions start their holiday on Christmas day and celebrate for 12 days ending on January 5th.
So, in the spirit of an expanded celebration, let’s make the ‘gift of plow’ a 12-day opportunity to explore eco knowledge. On day 1, acquire a general understanding of why a ‘gift of plow' is important. On day 2, ‘put on your green glasses, plug in. Day 3’s gift is a focus of eco literacy; and day 4, the opportunity to beat the winter blahs. Now, having acquired a basic understanding of a ‘gift of plow’, move forward with selecting activities, products and services.
On day 5, choose to follow an eco-star . Choose, on day 6, to identify traditions old and new. Create, on day 7, Christmas bouquets. And on day 8, create holiday memories. Then, on day 9, 10, 11 and 12 using a guideline such as Landscape Gardening with CARE, commit to giving gifts of plow.
Whether in the spirit of the holiday season or as a New Year resolution, join in a quest to green life’s garden one scoop at a time. Give gifts that encourage others to acquire eco education: reflect ‘plow, not hearth’. For, we not only have the opportunity to make a difference through personal choices but can influence others to create healthy green space, both rural and urban.
