Happy Earth Day!
It was my "resolution" this year to teach my boys and change our lifestyle bit by bit to become more green. So this morning - as a celebration of earth day - we sat down at breakfast and talked about all our changes and what we thought they meant to us. Well - the little one said he was glad he was doing so well at turning off the lights as he left the room. They both got a kick out of telling us how they show their friends to have a waste free lunch at school. And my husband has really appreciated what all the energy savings has done to our financial budget! Compared to Jan-Apr in '07 we have saved $250 off our hydro and gas bills combined!!!

What's the answer to paper or plastic? Reusable!!!

I'm off to hang the laundry (washed in fragrance free biodegradable detergent) outdoors on our nice new clothes line!

My DD4 came home from preschool today with lots of suggestions about how we can improve "the sick earth". When she got into our van she looked around and asked in a very serious way, "how many seats does this van have?" I told her and she said, "that's way too many. We're going to die if we keep this up. We need a water car. We have to get one now. Tell dad he needs to get one too." She proceeded to tell me all of the things (all of which we already incorporate into our lives) we need to do so that we don't all die. I was a proud momma. Happy belated earth day.
