Well…it is the day after Earth Day and what are we planning on doing better, greener, healthier by next year? I thought I would leave you with a few ideas to think about…
1)start to change out your toiletries one at a time to all natural brands (Living Green Marketplace.com allows you to order online and they do the label reading for you). I started with body lotion and then worked my way to shampoos and deodorant. It is a process.. so don’t get overwhelmed, and don’t throw out your unused products. Use them up and replace them with a natural product one at a time.
2)buy a water filter for your faucet and break the habit of buying bottled water (one plastic bottle can take more than 400 hundred years to break down in a landfill, glass takes even longer).
3) replace your old broken things with a new eco-version. Break the habit of repeatedly buying the exact brand and model of what you had before. Look for a greener, eco-model that may now be available. Use your POWER! This is the best way of telling companies you want them to build greener products.
4) want to get and shape for summer and be green? Get out there with a push lawn mower and you will be well on your way to a healthier and greener lifestyle! Watch out girls!
Whatever you choose to change this year….stick to it! You will find living a greener lifestyle is fun, exciting, and makes you feel good.
