ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
One step at a time
Advertiser Staff
Still working on your child's first birthday scrapbook — and he's already 4 years old?
If you're having a hard time finishing a task, then make a plan, suggests Peter Jaret of Real Simple magazine.
It's all about taking small steps, one step at a time.
"Tell yourself you will work on the project a little bit every day until it is done," Jaret says in the magazine's May issue.
The Sierra Club Hawai'i chapter's Blue Water Campaign, a statewide outreach effort to help keep Island waters clean and healthy, encourages residents to take action every day:
• Practice environmental stewardship. Throw trash where it belongs, and recycle. • Help push for new environmental legislation by submitting testimony. • Do volunteer work for environmental groups.
"You have to give back. That's the rent you pay for living on Earth."
Clean water everyone's job
Preventing chemicals and pollutants from going down the storm drain is just one way to help protect Hawai'i's waters.
