what is fabulous about Earth Week

The beautiful earth God graced us with needs all of us to take better care of it. A few things we have done to make it better -
1. NEVER litter - it makes me sick to my stomach when I see someone litter - no reason for it
2. Set up recycling stations in our garage - Martha Stewart wouldn't approve of my station but it doesn't have to be pretty - just big tubs that say - Paper, Plastic/Cardboard, and Cans
3. Buy the low energy light bulbs
4. Install the solar lights for outside (we put these in last year and they are totally charged by the sun)
5. Turn the lights off during the day and when rooms aren't in use
6. Turn the water off when brushing teeth
7. We keep the house around 70 in the summer and 67 in the winter.

We aren't perfect as we still own 2 SUVs but can't really drive a smart car with three kiddos and all their STUFF (not as guilty as Al Gore must feel with his own personal jet he takes everywhere)! However, we are trying to do our part in small ways. Unless you move to an Eco Village, you can't be PERFECT. I will continue to look for more ways to take care of the earth - join me!
