Lol! This slogan appeared on an Earth Day T-shirt in Wal-Mart that Austin loved. (He didn't actually end up purchasing said shirt as he is the most frugal person I have ever met, darn Dutch blood, but that's another story for another time.) And as crunchy, or tree-hugger-ish as this may sound, I really (kind of) agree with it. They weren't right about everything, in fact they got a lot of things waaaaaaaaay wrong. In fact I disagree with their views on nearly everything (drugs, sex, etc.). Everything except their opinions about the way we treat the planet.
The older I get, and the more my brain shifts into "mothering" mode, the more I think about the state of our planet, how what I do impacts the environment, and what kind of world I want to leave for my (future) children. I am not what I consider extreme in my views, but I do believe in making the small changes that positively impact our world.
For some great ideas and a lot of very easy adjustments, visit Co-op America and read their list of 22 Steps to Energy Efficiency. Not only will these tips conserve energy and help the environment, you will also notice a positive impact on your energy bills, too!
You may have noticed the LetsGoGreen.biz ads in my right sidebar and at the bottom of my page. Let's Go Green is a great company that delivers tons of eco-friendly products for some very reasonable prices. LetsGoGreen.biz is also sponsoring my very first GIVEAWAY!!! That's right, at the end of this week I will be announcing the giveaway of a product that will help one lucky winner tackle a "mountain" that we all have to "climb" on a depressingly regular basis!
Any guesses? :)
Thanks for reading!
I too have been thinking that's its time for me to do my first giveaway. Not sure what I'll do as the prize - but I love the idea of doing it! How much fun! Sometimes it's totally better to give than to receive.
ReplyDeleteI did my firt give away but it ended quickly. My clue was too easy.
ReplyDeleteClueless...If I had to guess I'd say it was something to do with laundry. My piles are as big as mountains and yes it depresses me-good thing my husband likes to do it! ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it laundry? Because I have the Alps in my house right now!
ReplyDeleteI will stop over at visit LetsGoGree.biz. I am really interested in this and recenlty completed a school project on "Going Green". :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Sounds like laundry to me; that's a mountain I've got to scale tonight! I'm trying to find easy ways to be a good steward of the beauty God has given us, so I will have to check out those sites you linked.
ReplyDeleteStealing from Flylady, "Mount Washmore!" :)
