Happy Earth Day 2025

Happy Earth Day

Portland 4.19.25

I’ve considered “Earth Day every day” for a long time. But it is also special to know that every year on April 22nd, it’s officially celebrated. And though the news is challenging to follow right now, there are still good things happening.

Something fun that you might know about me is that I use email marketing in my environmental efforts. I’ve been working for years to rid the world of gas-powered leaf blowers, for instance. Before that, I built a list and sent out news about getting rid of phone books. Yeah, remember them? I’m also very interested in trees and keeping them standing and planting new ones. And most recently, I’ve started a new Dark Skies group for the Portland area (happy Dark Sky week!). If any of these efforts interest you, there’s a newsletter for you!

If there’s an environmental issue you care about, starting a newsletter on the topic and building your list over time is an incredible way to make change happen. I love working with people who are doing this type of work, as you can imagine. If this is you, I will bend over backwards to make your experience a good and successful one! Hit reply and let me know what your issue is and where you are in your journey.

We all want and need clean water and air to live. There is no planet B. Happy Earth Day! I hope you find a way to participate this year in a way that brings you joy. Maybe it’s time to get a garden started!

PS – This was my newsletter to those on my business email list. You can see the original with a bit more content here.

Happy Earth Day 2020 from Southeast Portland, Oregon. I hope you are faring well in these different times. Like everyone, I’ve been experiencing a huge mix of emotions but I’ve also been contemplating the upsides of the changes to our world going forward. Just having cleaner air for all species is a huge improvement in my book. Plus, increased telecommuting = less traffic, and there are dozens more benefits I could list. Also, many people are trying out new and fun things online – here’s something cheery.

I was reminded by my colleague, Michael Katz, that now is a great time to be publishing content. Check out the short video below.

For email marketers or people with other digital marketing skills, it’s a good time for our businesses. I’ve started working with a political candidate running for Portland City Council; a voice teacher who also does personal ceremonies (weddings, for example), and it seems like someone new is reaching out to me every day for assistance.

I’ve also joined the team at Food Security Hawai’i and their program to eliminate food insecurity in Hawai’i. My friend, Jenny Pell asked me to participate and help out with email marketing and social media for the project and I’m thrilled to be able to assist them.

So, how about that much fresher air? Less traffic. Signs of Spring. The sound of birds. Happy Earth Day 2020!

My life tips series could be helpful right now if you seek some interesting ideas on how to live a better life. Also, my Song a Day series is bringing new music to many. Music is definitely helping me ease through right now. These autoresponder series might also spark ideas for your own offering – don’t forget what Michael recommends above – it’s time to put your thinking out in the world. If you need a hand with that, please reach out.

These sǝɯıʇ ʇuǝɹǝɟɟıp are surely challenging – and, there are opportunities popping up (like the spring tulips), as well.

Carpe Diem,
