Earth Day! ~ A preachy post!

I started this blog to document my passions and maybe make a pithy comment on life! But it seems like I am sorely lacking in the department of "pithiness" ( or whatever you want to call it). So most of the posts are about my myriad passions and favs. That being established, how could I not blog about Earth Day????

I personally believe that every day is Earth Day, not something that deserves your attention just one day a out of a whole year. I follow this motto personally and so does A. But all around us, we see our friends and neighbors completely oblivious to their polluting lifestyle. A "greener" lifestyle takes only a few minor tweaks PLUS of course, willingness to make those changes.

Some easy changes that we have made:

1) Use microfiber cloths instead of paper towels~ the microfiber cloths are a HUGE improvement over paper towels. They clean like nobody's business. They make my stove shine and counters squeaky clean. Designate one cloth for each day of the week and just toss them in the laundry once a week! That's it! so easy!

2) Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar for all your cleaning needs instead of store bought cleaners. Not only do you save money, but also rid your home of poisonous chemicals! Good for you, and good for the planet.

3) Recycle ~ Recycle ~Recycle. I am surprised every time I see our friends throw away recyclable material in garbage. How hard is it to throw it in that recycling bin instead of garbage bin? If you do not have a recycling bin, go get one at your village/town/city office. You get one for FREE! yayy

These small steps can make a huge dent in our polluting habits!
