Earth Day, Green Living,..... These phrases may becoming so common that you hardly concern yourself with what they mean to you. Or they are used in contexts that have you believing they apply to someone else - the builder or the gardner.
The basic concept is that if we all take even little steps to care for our planet it can have a tremendous impact on the future.
Composting isn't for everyone.
Clotheslines may be prohibited in your neighborhood.
And you may feel like you will never get the kids to turn off the lights and appliances when they leave the room!
Don't let it deter you from making a difference when you can. Put the junk mail in the recycle instead of the garbage can. Instead of throwing away old clothes or shoes, donate them. Drive less, bike more. Remember your reusable grocery bags.
Best of all... get outdoors and simply enjoy what is already here in nature. Listen to the birds, the river, the wind. Watch the clouds, the wildlife, the plants beginning to bud. Appreciate what we have right outside our doors.
