Greening Our World

I run a home child care and we have been as green as can be for almost 4 years now. We walk to school, eat whole locally grown or local organic foods and pack environmentally friendly lunches. I recycle everything I possily can and teach all the kids to do the same.

Green Tip of the Day:
The best way to know exactly what goes into your skincare products? Make your own. Not only will you save money and packaging, but you'll also get the satisfaction that no preservatives or toxic chemicals were used in the process.

I will have to say that it is another beautiful Monday morning!

Green Tip of the Day:
If you can't make the jump to powering your entire house with alternative energy, start by focusing on one room at a time.

Green Tip of the Day:
Take inventory of what you already have that can be used again think more durable items, like clothes and shoes and what's still waiting to be used for the first time extra packs of pencils & notebooks. Avoid impulse purchases by making a list before you head to the store.

Green Tip of the Day:
Think global, play local. Look for exotic, exciting places nearby to take the family to. Be a tourist in your own area and find places you never knew were there.

Happy Monday Morning everyone! How was your weekend?

Green Tip of the Day:
When you look for sheets, curtains, or towels, go for organic cotton, if possible. It's still the same cottony goodness, but you'll rest easy knowing it's grown without nasty pesticides.
