Happy Earth Day everyone! I wanted to write today to encourage everyone to do something earth friendly today. It can be something simple like recycling that plastic bottle of soda you bought from the gas station this morning for a leg up.
How about purchasing a refillable cup for the gas station so that you don't have to ever buy a plastic bottle of soda again?
Or, go to reusablebags.com and purchase a set of reusable shopping bags (this will continue past today, and make you look so fashionable). And, while you are there, purchase a reusable water bottle. I just did this yesterday...after much debate over which bags, and which bottles to buy. I can't wait to get them!!
Or, plant an organic garden full of your favorite vegetables (i.e. tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, whatever), and/or herbs so that in the future you don't have to purchase these items from the store. Plus, they will taste that much better too.
Teach your children about the importance of being friendly to our planet so that their children can be happy and healthy on this planet.
Go to the Library and find a book and how to be more eco-friendly to push Earth Day into Earth Lifestyle. A couple of my favorites that I first checked out from the library and now have in my own personal library (I'm obsessed really, and have a really bad memory so I need the books for constant reference look up) are Gorgeously Green by Sophie Uliano (this is printed on recycled paper!!) and Easy Green Living by Renee Loux.
I guess the main thing to remember today is that every little thing counts. So, when you plan a trip to the grocery store, make a list to eliminate a second trip back to the store when you realize you forgot cheese. Think twice about pitching that plastic bottle or aluminum can into a normal trash can, and instead look up where you can recycle it. When purchasing items at the grocery store look for post consumer made products, which are in turn recyclable. Just do something...anything...EVERY SINGLE SMALL THING HELPS!
Happy Earth Day! :)
