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.
