Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!  From our part of the world to yours. 


To celebrate, think of one thing you could do to be a little more earth friendly....and start doing it! 10 easy ideas:
  1. recycle your paper, glass, plastic
  2. take shorter showers
  3. quit using plastic water bottles and get a cool, reusable one
  4. make your own cleaning supplies
  5. use cloth diapers! :)
  6. borrow instead of buying (hello library!)
  7. switch to fluorescent light bulbs
  8. print on both sides of your paper
  9. walk, ride your bike or bus whenever possible
  10. use cloth (or some type of reusable) grocery bags.  our grocery store gives a 5 cent credit towards your purchase for each bag you bring!

I prefer to stay away from the term "Go Green".  This seems like a trend lately to me, and being earth friendly should never be a trend that goes out of style after some time.  People have been doing this forever, and we should make it a lifetime habit in our own way!


Isn't it funny that most things you can do to be earth friendly also happen to save you money??
