I have so much to Blog about but thought that I would start with this important post. With EARTH day last week, my girls came home so excited to do somethings to help our environment. Now, keep in mind, that my husband calls me his “hippy chic” because I recycle so many items every week that we now have 5 recycle bins, I use only natural household cleaners and do my best to be conscious of the environment. I am no way doing all that I could, I am a beginniner..in the 1st stages of what I know my potential is.

So here are the 1st couple of changes that we are making in our house:
1. planting a garden instead of planting flowers this year. We will give extra vegetables to a local shelter

2. stop receiving catalogues in the mail. These end up being recycled or in a land fill and are in everyone’s mailbox everyday! You can stop these catalogues by going to one place for them all. www.catalogchoice.org is the one place stop. You have to create an account and can use multiple names at one address, you have the option of choosing to stop your catalogues all together, receive them a few times a year or on holidays only. It keeps track of the choices you have made and lets you know when the companies have accepted your request. It’s simple, easy, and will really help the environment!

These are our projects for now, very simple but if each person does something simple, we will make a huge impact on our environment.
