There are numerous businesses on the internet that sell natural and organic products. A website to find them is http://www.ecofriendlysites.org

I need to do this. Looking out the window and appreciating what is around you is something that we all need to do more often. I’m loving the grass getting greener and the flowers blooming. It’s so beautiful.

I agree with keeping Earth Day a non-commercial shopping spree… I do so hope that we will be able to keep to that spirit in the future.

I am also a big fan of allowing ourselves to do something significant, but realizing that it doesn’t mean we have to install solar panels on our rooftop! Hope your Earth Day was green and beautiful! 🙂

For example, my husband took his morning cup of Fair Trade coffee to work with him in his reusable travel mug. I finished the pot and just threw the dried coffee grounds and eggshells from my breakfast into the garden bed. Lunch for both of us was leftovers. I did a full load of laundry w/ homemade waste free HE detergent and used a couple of tennis balls instead of fabric sheets or softner in the dryer (spring allergies mean line drying only in winter.) Pretty basic and small stuff but when you add all the little thins up it can make a big difference.

It’s still a fantastic idea.

What a great list.
I wish I could join you in enjoying nature, but I’m sitting here in a jury room!
I agree with you about keeping Earth Day “the only major U.S. holiday that does NOT masquerade as an excuse for a shopping spree.” And you and I of course are HUGE supporters of green business…but there needs to be a balance. Unfortunately we’re not there yet.
Thanks for your contribution to the Green Moms Carnival!
Lynn

I am taking my daughter for a long walk – rain or not. It should be a fun way to celebrate our love of nature!

DO try to drop meat from one’s diet at least 1 day a week – or, go meatless at breakfast and lunch and only eat meat for dinner!
