Earth Day 2009

Our family has been trying to live a greener lifestyle for more than 2 years now. We have switched to cloth grocery bags (which I absolutely love!), we stepped up our curb side recycling efforts, we use refillable personal water bottles, we grow an organic garden, we freecycle to keep things from landfills and we recently purchased a rain barrel. While we could do much better, we think that if every family just did a little, we could see a huge change in our global warming problems. I encourage you to think about 1 thing your family could go to live a little greener this year.

we've made almost the same identical changes lately. I'm hoping to incorporate more while being mindful of living a more simple life. I'm gonna check out some of your links today, thanks!

We have also made a lot of green changes. Although, truthfully, most of our changes have been for frugal reasons and just happen to be earth friendly, too. I think the two go hand-in-hand. Good job and thanks for the links!
