For us ,Earth day is Everyday

What a beautiful monday morning. Sitting here with my girls and lil man, enjoying some cereal and strawberry's.


Wednesday we have the earth day walk. Can't wait!



These sheets are from Green Gorilla organic cotton sheets. The pillow is made from 100% recycled plastic.

I'm lucky to have gotten these sheets on sale at the time.

They wash well and have other types of prints for boys and girls.










EVERYDAY GREEN

Most people know the basics about living green. Like not leaving the water running when brushing your teeth. It's definetly a

start. I really try to teach the girls what to do beyond that. Some of the things i've done are :


We use one cup for the whole day. We just rinse it quickly after every use (which is breakfast, lunch and dinner)

-[-
When i do laundry 95% of my clothes get hung up to dry (even in the winter) so we don't use the dryer

we save water by doing full loads and not flushing after every use.

Thats right,we don't flush after every use. IF IT'S YELLOW ,LET IT MELLOW,IF IT'S BROWN FLUSH IT DOWN.

We put a gallon of water inside the tank of the toilet to save water. This is very affective on saving water


When washing dishes in the dishwasher, we make sure that it's absolutely full before we start it / when washing by hand , i

either let the sink fill up with water or just wash the dishes first then turn the water on to rinse.



If i don't wind up making my own dishwashing liquid, I dillute the store bought and it last me a while.

We use our canvas bags to go grocery shopping and if i forget them,i always get paper.
