Going Green
When my daughters were babies I used these cloth diapers Natural Baby catalog
They sell different earth friendly items there, my favorite was the cloth diapers which are a superior quality to any cloth diapers you find in stores today. They seem pricey but really are not if you do the math on buying disposable diapers.
It helps greatly to use cloth diapers and it is not as bad as it seems, especially if you breastfeed which I did.
You can buy covers for these diapers at Gymboree and they also sell them at the same company that makes the cloth diapers here diaper covers
Disposable diapers is new to this and the last century and is not good for the environemnt. You will also save alot of money using cloth diapers instead of disposable and you will feel good about what you are doing for your child, the future and the Earth as a whole.
I also hand a hand grinder to make baby food with, given to me by my aunt when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I also bought organic baby food which was always available in the local grocery store.

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvienent Truth

An Inconvienent Truth and I highly recommend others watch this movie. Al Gore has my respect and admiration as he has been courageous and tenacious in trying to help us SAVE US. It seems we have a habit of closing our eyes, a natural human defect of character. However we cannot no longer afford to do this with the rate we are going with pollution and the damage done by fossil fuels. Our polar ice caps and polar ice is melting at an alarming rate which will cause the loss of millions of lives as the oceans fill up lands of beach areas and much further inland for many other countries.
Going green is not just a choice. It is a must for our survival.
Rent An Inconvienent Truth, you will see in more depth how important going green is.
Our polar bears are drowning as they have to swim to far to find ice to rest on.
Drinking water will significantly diminish.
I have a deep sense of gratitude for Al Gore for going around the world to get this message out.

Using solar panels


![]()
More and more people are using solar panels. It is a great way to get the energy for electricity in your home. If you have too much energy you can actually sell it back to the utility companies. So many people using a more green approach to their home and going "off the grid" are actually not only not paying for their electricity, they are making money from electricity.
How great is that! And the bonus of not using up more of the harmful oils that contaminate our ozone layer, make our artic ice disapper which is serious for our survival is all the benefit and motivation one really needs. If you can afford to use solar panels, it will save us.

Arctic Ice is Melting

You can check out the story here National Geographic.
The pollution we emit by all the fossil fuels we use are causing far reaching damage to our home- The Earth. Without the polar ice we have had on our planet for so many years we will experience weather patterns we have never seen before. The ice keeps our planet balanced. Without it we would end up in another ice age after the imbalance caused toxic air for us and all sorts of ecological disasters. You can rent the movie- Earth: The Biography to find out about some of the issues we are facing. Another movie to watch is- An Inconvenient Truth. There are many more and some cable channels have documentaries on these very subjects that are told elegantly but simply to the everyday viewer.

Go Green
Ed Begley Jr.
activist and environmentalist

Ed has a show on the green channel on cable that is very informative on the different ways one can go green and be more ecologically wise.
Him and his wife Rachelle visit others often famous others who are going greener or want to go greener. For example on today's show they visited and talked with actress Helen Hunt. The show is entertaining as well as informative. He shows the work he does on his own home and the work others do on their homes. It is a great place to learn about going greener in your own life.

My middle daughter as a toddler
An easy way to help

I bought cloth bags from my local grocery store, some do provide them there or you can buy them elsewhere like here reusable grocery bags
Using cloth bags is a great way to help the environment so that we are not using paper or plastic bags. It is such an easy way to go green.

For the ladies
Ladies,
we can use cloth menstrual pads and cloth breast pads if you are breastfeeding to help the environment, just as disposable diapers are filling up our landfills, these products are as well.
Here is a great place to get these types of products and be eco friendly. Goddesspads If cloths is not for you, they also sell biodegradable disposable pads.
In the history of mankind we always used to use cloth for these sorts of things. It is only in this and the last century that we have become such a throw away society of beings.
Green Tips
Save rainwater
You can save rainwater and use it for certain things in or outside your home such as watering.
Recycling anything you can is the most ecofriendly thing you can do. You can turn much of your trash into compost and reduce the amount of trash going to our landfills.

- Since gas prices have gone down, I think sadly some of the more important factors for going green (i.e. fuel conservation) haven't been paid enough attention to. Hopefully we'll get back on track. Nice work.
