Climate Counts–

Submitted by Non-Toxic Kids Blog

I hadn’t planned on posting today (I wonder how many posts I end up starting with that phrase..it’s clear I am addicted to this!), but as my toddler and I ate yogurt today, I looked at the lid. On my Stoneyfield Farms yogurt lid was an advertisement for a website called Climatecounts.org.

I was curious, so I checked it out tonight. It has information about what companies are doing to prevent climate change, since they are doing the lion’s share of the polluting that got us into this mess in the first place. The Climatecounts website has a nifty downloadable guide to what companies are “stuck”, “starting” and “striding” in their commitment to tackle global warming. Mostly these are very mainstream mega-companies, but for someone who does shop at a conventional grocery store, or lives in a more urban area (ah, that’s not hard) than I do, where you might visit fast food or chain coffee establishments, this could be a real way to vote with your dollars.

The movie on the site is inspiring. We consumers must band together and make ourselves heard with our money. To many corporations, our money is our voice. Let’s roar.
