We had big plans for our earth day project but we are all sick! I have bronchitis and both the girls have ear infections!!! We have not gotten any sleep around here for days.
What we did for Earth Day today:
We did manage today to set up our recyling center. I didn’t have an organized system that we used so lots of recyling ended up in the trash because we didn’t have room for everything. I reused items I had around the house for our recyling center and put a labels on the outside of each one so it will be easy to use. This should help us to be better at recycling!
What we started doing this year:
*We use reuseable shopping bags
*We do not buy household cleaners (I use kitchen staples to clean)
*We have cut back on using paper towels and use cloth napkins and dishtowels
* We have switched about half of our light bulbs to the energy saving ones
*We try to buy organic foods when we can
What I want to start for next year:
*Recycle as much as possible
*We are working on starting an organic garden!
*I want to get a rain barrel
*I want to start shopping the farmer’s market and buy as much locally as I possibly can
*Switch all my light bulbs to the energy saving ones
*Turning off lights when I leave the room (my husband would love this one)
*Use less water-I need help on this one!
