Earth Day is April 22
This is a great opportunity to do a good thing. Bleachlady is extremely tired of people expecting somebody else to do the picking up. Here are a few EASY things that YOU can do on Earth Day to make a difference. Who knows, it may feel so darn good to do something positive that you try it once a month…or even once a week.
1. Grab a trash bag and go for a walk. (wearing gloves is highly suggested) Pick up the trash that you encounter. You may be surprised how quickly your bag will fill up.
2. Plant something. Plant anything. A tree. A flower. A strawberry plant- get your kids involved.
3. Conserve water. Stop and think. Plug your sink while you are brushing. You will see how much water is wasted when you leave it on.
4. Recycle. You can recycle almost everything these days. Be concious of your trash.
Interesting blog
I’ve decided to stop talking about it and try to go “green”. I’ve given myself 3 months to stop being so wasteful and change my ways. One way that I made a change today is by taking cloth, reusable, bags to the store and having them pack my groceries in them. I was surprised to find that the store gave a “BYOB- bring your own bag” credit back.
I was also consious of what I purchased today. If I could buy anything recycled, I did. I also bought larger packages of food for my kids and plan to break them up into baggies. (I will rinse and reuse the baggies)
So- I guess my point is, I’m trying. That’s all anyone can do. It really does feel good if you put the effort in.
