I have been in Colorado the last few days and haven’t posted like I would have liked this week. I did have the opportunity to see some professional speaker buddies both from there and other places. So I posed the question, “What did you do differently during Turn Off TV Week and/or Earth Week?

Non-verbal communication expert Patti Wood said:

I went to Inman park festival by MARTA train rather than drive downtown. I also  went four days without television while I was in Key West and back in Atlanta. It created a space for me to have more conversations with friends and with people I met on my trip. I also took longer walks and wrote more. Too much inputting is bad for the soul.

My speaker buddy and motivational humorist Scott Friedman celebrated by starring at his radio during prime time every night for an hour. His contribution to Earth Week:  I went through my house and threw away everything that wasn’t bio deagradeable. Also, I told flight attendants to collect all the recyled articles (then I got a few phone numbers to follow up for potential dates).

Minneapolis based speaker John Crudele said he’d like Earth Week to be a reminder for him to earn more GREEN for his Partnership for Youth foundation. John works to bring dynamic speakers for his Catholic programs for teens.
