Blog Day of Action, one day late

Posted under environment by rahma

I’m a bad, bad blogger.  I signed up for yesterday’s Blog Action Day, and was suppose to post something re: the environment.  I had grand plans to post, if not a dissertation on islam and the environment, at least to write a bit about my favorite environment friendly hadith:

 ”If the Day of Judgment begins while one of you is planting a shoot (of a tree), let him finish (planting it) if he could.”

Well, the weekend rolled around with both Eid and my anniversary (has it been 2 years already).  No problem, I think, I’ll just get into work early and write something.  Ah, never get into work early if you’re doing trial prep for 3 cases (ok, 1 trial, one arbitartion, and one mock trial).  Nope, not a second to write even a sentence on the ol blog yesterday.  The lesson?  Procrastination doesn’t pay.

 So, here I am, a day late and a dollar short.  Instead of my own thoughts on being a green muslim, I’ll just throw up some links.  Bah.
