Because we don’t think about future generations, they will never forget us. ~Henrik Tikkanen
“It’s so expensive to buy everything organic”
“It’s too confusing to read the labels on cleaning and skin care products”
“I don’t have time”
“Natural, organic, sustainable…what’s the difference?”
“I don’t even know where to begin”
“I recycle, isn’t that good enough?”
“It’s not like I can make a difference…I’m only one person”
“All of this talk about going green is just a hype to get people to spend more money”
The name of my blog doesn’t have “eco,” “green,” or “environment” in it, but I’m extremely passionate about doing what I can to preserve our earth’s precious resources, while raising my children in a natural home. Over the next week or so, I’ll be sharing with you some easy, affordable, attainable ways to make a difference.
But first, I’d love to know…
What steps have you taken to “go green?”
Let’s see:
* I breastfeed.
* I give birth without drugs.
* I avoid artificial contraceptives.
* I use a reusable water bottle, instead of the plastic throwaway ones.
* I recycle.
* I give unwanted items to charity.
* I buy organic produce, milk, and meat.
