Celebrating Earth Day

April 22, 2009 •

For 10 years we have been lucky enough to be stew­ards of a small but beloved prop­erty that includes a tidal marsh on Cape Cod, adja­cent to 100 acres of con­ser­va­tion land (a mix of sec­ond growth for­est and tidal wet­lands rich in birdlife). It’s a place of the heart.

Look­ing closely, you can see a great blue heron fish­ing in the tidal pond.

To cel­e­brate Earth Day, I bought an eco-friendly yoga mat and a recy­cle kit. The new mat is designed to min­i­mize slip­page from sweaty hands and feet — a dis­ad­van­tage of my old mat dur­ing intense prac­tices. I hope that the per­son who receives the recy­cled mat will be able to enjoy slip-free asanas.

More impor­tantly, we replaced our aging, 19-year-old gas fur­nace with a hybrid sys­tem that claims 95% effi­ciency. Great com­fort, bet­ter energy con­ser­va­tion.

Happy Earth Day.
