Earth Day, Every Day - Tip # 1

To celebrate Earth Day and "Earth month", I'll be sharing daily tips to help you Live Green(er)!

BYOB (Tip # 1 - Bring Your Own Bag)

The answer to "paper or plastic?" is "neither." Whenever you go shopping, remember to bring your own bag! Reusable cloth bags are inexpensive, washable and hold a lot more than plastic or paper bags.

Buy a few bags and leave them in the car so you can bring them to the grocery store, Home Depot, everywhere. You may even find one of those tiny nylon bags that squishes up into a little package and easily fits in your purse or backpack.

Reusable bags, a little effort that has a big impact!

It's May 1st!

Another Earth Day/Earth month has ended, which means that Mother's Day will soon be here! But instead of feeling like spring, today it feels more like summer as the temperature is expected to hit 88 degrees F.

Happy Earth Day!

Today is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, and I'd like to recognize two companies celebrating big anniversaries as well.

For 20 years, 7th Generation has been offering green cleaners. They have a complete line of ready to use Earth friendly cleaners that are available at local grocers everywhere.

Celebrating their 50th year of offering concentrated green cleaners is Shaklee Corp. Their Basic H household cleaner was first introduced way back in 1960! A few years ago they doubled the concentration and it's now known as Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate. This super-concentrated, Green Seal Certified cleaner has 1000's of uses at a very consumer friendly price!

I wish these two companies a very Happy Anniversary, and I thank them for offering products that protect my family and the Earth.
