It's Earth Day today!! It use to be a day marked with going out to plant a tree, and everyone feeling like they had done their part! NO MORE! Now more than ever, it is sooo easy to take steps to take care of our Earth! What can you do???
*use reusable grocery bags---HEB & Target both have inexpensive versions...in fact today, April 22, from 3-7 pm HEB is giving away 1 free reusable bag for every 5 plastic HEB bags you bring in(one per household)
*change out your 5 most used sources of light in the house with the CFL environment friendly bulbs
*cancel unwanted catalogs by going to catalogchoice.org and save a few trees!! it is so easy and only takes a few minutes
*use reusable/refillable plastic water bottles instead of buying more cases of water and filling the landfills
*take advantage of the recycling bins we have in our lovely city of SA, not all cities offer this service, so use it to recycle cardboard, soup cans, aluminum cans, & newspaper...just to name a few!
*carpool whenever you can! gas prices are outrageous, so save time, money & our air by carpooling with friends to all your kid's activities! my best friend, Mamamia, and i started carpooling the kiddos to preschool and it has been the best thing ever & so much fun for them!
Think of the WONDERFUL example you begin to set with your children in showing them that our Earth is a priority and needs to be cared for just like anything else!
