jacob here wishing you a happy earth day. don't forget to reduce, reuse, and recycle. i have A LOT of ground to cover in my day...mountains to hike, lakes to swim in, oceans to surf in, and woods to go on nature walk in so in order to enjoy mother earth in years to come it is vital to be conscious about our environment.
mom says she can't really preach about it too much because she still isn't using cloth diapers for me. yes...she is throwing away my diapers to pile up in the landfills. (gasp!) i tell you, if one day i am hiking and i run into one of my old diapers...well, let's just say i won't be a happy hiker. i tried to tell her the cloth diapers now days are very hip. no pins or anything. she's still weighing the pros and the cons.
there are indeed a few small things that you can do (mom says these are quite easy). when going to the store use paper bags. and recycle them. (did you know in the state of california that they have outlawed plastic bags!? they are so progressive). maybe you don't even need a bag? OR, better yet...bring your own reusable bag.
buy organic if possible. support local growers.
cleaning supplies are major sources of indoor air pollution - chemicals! try ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda for cleaning, or choose a safer brand such as Seventh Generation or whatever your local supermarket carries.
educate yourself. do some research. try a google search "go green tips" and check out all of the websites for great ideas!
happy earth day!
love, jacob
