Earth Day

The kids were so impressed because I took care of recycling a bunch of bottles and newspaper on Earth Day. They were afraid that all the green people would be lined up at the recycling center, but we were the only ones there at the time, and the place was not overflowing with recyclables.

How Green Are You?

Since Earth Day falls in April it seems that every magazine, newspaper and advertisement has tips for being "Green". The Reader's Digest, Real Simple, Country Living, and Better Homes and Gardens all had articles, as well as the Visalia Times-Delta. You go to the Target ads and it shows that you can buy organic and recycled clothes. I am getting tired of these, even though a lot of the suggestions are good. We already do some of them and other suggestions are ridiculous. If they have a fresh idea that would be news; now it is just repetitious. So do you have any new ideas or have you already changed out all of your light bulbs, recycled, and turned off the water while you brush your teeth?
