Raised by a mother who was bringing her own bags to the grocery store back in the 90’s, I have an appreciation for Earth Day and I hope you do, too! Last year I started composting and this year I’m going to purchase one of these kitchen composters, so I don’t have to have kitchen scraps sitting in a bowl on my countertop waiting to be taken out at the end of most days. Pick something, anything you think you can do to improve your “carbon footprint” this year. Use one less napkin, buy recycled napkins, plant a tomato plant, put that foil in the recycle bin instead of the garbage, consume less, plant a tree, or even hug a tree. None of us is perfect at it, or perfectly consistent at it, but it’s worth a shot at helping reduce waste and contribute to the effort to live more sustainably. So, what will you do this year?

I got rid of the kids.
Just kidding, but I’ve noticed a lot less trash and running out of hot water since they grew up and left home. We ARE ripping out our front lawn this fall, and are pretty good about recycling. I love Earth Day, and was glad to see your post!
Exciting, that’s a big something, ripping out the lawn! Glad I have a fellow Earth Day fan!
