Earth Day April 22 

Make Everyday Earth Day

Earth Day was conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson after a trip he took to Santa Barbara right after that horrific oil spill off our coast in 1969. He was so outraged by what he saw that he went back to Washington and passed a bill designating April 22 as a national day to celebrate the earth.

So now you know where the idea came from. Now it's our turn to share with our children, the beauty of "Earth Day."

Make Earth Day, every day in your life.

What will we leave for them? Now is the time to make a difference...spread the word!

Use Cloth

Carry cloth shopping bags. Use rags or towels instead of paper towels for cleaning. And yes, consider using cloth diapers for your baby at least some of the time.

No More Junk Mail 

An Option For Parents



You have great resources to help your child learn more about caring for their planet Earth. Along with the ideas mentioned. Here is a suggestion you may want to consider. A great, but sometimes forgotten way for us to go green.
Did you know that each year over 100 million trees are destroyed for junk mail? What can we do?

* People are looking for a solution to the crush of junk mail, but most haven't heard of a way.
* Stopping junk mail is recognized as one of the top 5 easy ways to go green.

Consider, GreenDimes, it will stop your entire household's junk mail and plants 10 trees on your behalf for $20. They also offer the choice to remove only the catalogs you don't want.

Their impact is huge. In just over a year, they have stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and saved/planted 1,000,000 trees. They have over 75,000 happy members and have gotten a ton of press - NY Times, Ellen, Good Morning America to name a few.


Styrofoam lasts a really long time

Try 500 years. Or more. Think about millions of burger boxes, packing peanuts, and take-out containers, sitting in landfills, not biodegrading. Then buy eggs in cardboard, rather than styrofoam, containers.

Very good lens !

I am teaching my kids too.
I make my own soaps, cleaners, balms, perfumes... and I am an Organic Gardener.
When my kids were little, they each had their own little section of the garden where they chose what to plant. They also helped me plant spinach and beans and corn... .
They were always willing to try something from the garden when they helped plant it and/or take care of it.
They love fresh foods now and love my cooking too as it is from stratch from my organic gardens and our beef from the in-laws cattle that is not full of hormones and antibiotics... .

I still want to get my own chickens, but have to wait until the time is right.

Organically yours,
Diana
