Your guide to celebrating September 12 2012
Skip to all 11 daysSeptember 12 brings 15 national days, led by World Dolphin Day, with National Video Games Day and National Chocolate Milkshake Day offering an easygoing plan for later.
Begin with a concrete show of support
Give the morning 20 minutes and make it useful. Read Sea Shepherd Global’s information on World Dolphin Day, then choose one action: make a donation to a dolphin-protection group you already know, send its campaign page to a friend, or write down one question about marine conservation to pursue at your local library. The day’s concern includes the Faroe Islands’ grind hunting tradition, so skip vague promises and share one clear, sourced fact only after you have read it. If donating isn’t practical, choose a group’s newsletter and save its next action alert for a time you can respond. A small action with a real recipient beats a repost you forget by lunch.
Set up an afternoon game session
Keep the next part low-pressure. Text two people, pick a start time, and agree on a game before anyone arrives. For a living-room group, use a racing game, a sports title, or a cooperative puzzle that allows people to swap in every 10 or 15 minutes. Playing solo? Revisit the opening hour of a favorite game, or try a free demo instead of starting a purchase you do not want. Put phones in a bowl for one round, make water available, and stop while the room is still having fun.

Finish with a diner-style treat
A chocolate milkshake takes about five minutes: blend two cups of chocolate ice cream with half a cup of cold milk until smooth, then divide it between two tall glasses. Add whipped cream if you have it, but a pinch of salt or a spoonful of malted milk powder gives it more character than extra toppings. No blender? Let the ice cream soften for 10 minutes and stir it hard with the milk in a chilled bowl. Serve the shakes after the game, sit down rather than carrying them around, and use the last few minutes of the day to compare the best moment from the session.
National Chocolate Milkshake Day
Go out for a chocolate milkshake, or make one of these delicious creamy treats yourself. Lactose intolerant? Try a substitute milkshake with soy, oat, or nut milk.
