Earth Day is this Saturday!

Hey everyone,

Just a little bit from everyone does a lot.

This Saturday plant a tree, start a compost bin, buy less packaging, give to Goodwill instead of the trash, or just turn a few lights off. I'm sure we can all think of something to do in the dark! :blushing:

    Thanks for the reminder.
    We will be at breakfast with the animals at our local zoo.
    When we get back, we will take out reusable bags to the grocery store and we will take all the stuff that did not sell at the yard sale to the battered women's thrift store

    Okay, actually TODAY is Earth Day. Sorry about that, but a bunch of businesses were celebrating on Saturday, and I got confused.

    BUMP!!!!

    I did it yesterday-I planted 35 plants in the back.
    I will do some more planting this afternoon-transplanting.
    I did also take my own bags to the store.
    I am walking my daughter to the craft store, so I will not be polluting the air.
    HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

    On Sunday I was going to take a 2 mile walk, then drive to Kohls. Then I realized, Kohls is 1 mile away, duh!!! So I packed up the stroller and walked there, and refused a bag too, just stowed the stuff in the stroller. I am trying to be better at not taking bags when I have 5 things or less. I bought some cloth bags too, if I remember to take them.

    Happy Earth Day!

    My husband is planting a huge garden. I am excited for tons of organic veggies soon. My daughter will be full of vegetables all summer.
