It is a great day to be alive, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the temperature is just right. As I was picking trash today in a park nearby I got to thinking that today is a great day to take your first steps to make the Earth a better place. We have made enormous strides this year in trying to understand how our everyday activities impact the earth, and how little changes in our behaviour can change things better for the future.From celebrities to the local news everyone is providing tips on how you can start to make your life green and for those of us who are living a green life amp; how to sustain that lifestyle.

The key to get everyone involved is to engage people on some level. As we at Talen Events move along in this journey of trying to find our way to a sustainable lifestyle we are getting involved in our community and learning through others. This past weekend, we had the honor of participating in WWF’s CN Tower Climb and helped to register 5000 climbers who believe in the need to help the environment. While it is absolutely necessary to celebrate the Earth today, I think the time has come to make everyday Earth Day.

18th Annual WWF Stair Climb – Saturday April 18, 2008

Didn’t get to participate in the WWF sponsored Earth Hour? Don’t worry! There is still two other ways you can support this amazing charity!

On Saturday April 19th 2008, the WWF is having their 18th annual CN Tower Stair Climb. Feel like getting your climb on? If you’re thinking about it, it just so happens that you could get some great prizes AND the money that you raise goes to support the following initatives:

• A little government influence that goes a LONG way on behalf of all Canadians
• Protection for the fragile ecosystems around the world
• Education for real change
• Getting the word out to industries and making sure they play their part
• Help nature survive some not so cool but sadly inevitable warming!

So even if you’re not so much a climber, it’s still a great idea to sponsor someone else or donate to WWF!

Talen Events will be there, helping out so we’d love to see you!
