I couldn’t let today pass without acknowledging Earth Day! I am sure as parents we are all concerned about our Earth and the legacy we will leave our children and our children’s children. Small changes, baby steps, can all add up to make a big difference.
So in honor of Earth Day, I thought it might be fun to share one (or more!) small change your family has made to live more green or eco-friendly.
I will start off the comments, but please share your ideas by commenting below.
Personally, I have cut back tremendously on plastic water bottles, by using this thermos water bottle. It goes everywhere I do!
We have also changed out about 80% of our lightbulbs in our house to the Energy Star ones. Even just replacing one normal light bulb with an energy efficient one can make a difference.
Lastly, I am in love with my iGo Charge Anywhere device. It allows me to charge my iPod and iPhone UNPLUGGED. No more leaving my phone charging in the wall all night long! Super convenient because you can charge on the go too! I just read on the iGo Facebook Fan page if you enter code “EARTHFAN” you will get 20% off! WOO HOO!
Your turn…can’t wait to read the responses!
I bought 5 canvas, reusable shopping bags for the grocery store…no more plastic bags!
We planted a herb and veggie garden. We only use Earth Friendly 7th Generation Laundry Detergent. We don’t use plastic water bottels, we use our reusable ones. I try to buy organic as much as our budget will allow. I try and only buy organic chicken and cage free eggs. I think that is it for now, oh and we recycle of cause 😉
Sharon, did you plant it in the ground or use an above-ground planter box? That is one of the things on our list to do! I think it would be so cool for the entire family!
Gr8 ideas! We r so guilty of the plastic water bottles and ziplock bags dilemna.Change is around the corner. Will check out those bottles. Happy Earth Day!
