Earth Day

So...this is the third year my blog has been up and running on Earth Day.  It's hard to imagine I've been writing so long.  Today though isn't about me and my blog, it's about Earth Day and trying to maintain it's integrity.

So minus all the freebies people are giving out, and all the other crap that's going on.  I'd like to get to the real deal.  What changes are you going to make this year?  How are you going to do even better?  Eat less meat?  Start a garden?  Buy locally from a farmer if you're not good at growing food?  Recycle?  Be anal about your recycling??

What's the biggest change you've made in the last year?

Free Tree on Earth Day!

Lowes is giving away trees for Earth Day!  Go to your local store on April 23rd to get your free tree.  Yay Lowes!

Tomorrow!! Free Bag from Target

Tomorrow April 17th, Target is giving away reusable bags (with purchase) for Earth Day.  Go early if you can, they will likely run out in a few hours.  Going to try to get one in the morning myself, so I'll be sure to post if they're worth going out to get one.

Free Starbucks!

Starbucks is giving away free coffee in honor of Earth Day.  Simply go to your local Starbucks with your travel mug on April 22nd, and fill up.  Yay Starbucks!

Earth Day -- The goal

Today I'm not going to fill your mind with any ideas of what to do for earth day. I know that today of all days, you're going to be swamped with projects and philosophies. I do this every day as it's the overall goal of my blog. Instead,I'll be taking a step back and telling you what I will do with my day.

This day to me is a lot like New Year's day. I make a pledge, a resolution. I take my New Year's resolution seriously, and make it my theme for the year. As I will do with my earth day resolution. So, whether you're new, and trying to learn how to recycle, or if you've been recycling for 20 years already add to this list. Add to the green list of things you can do, and change your habits. Drive less, recycle more, start a garden, whatever. Just make the commitment, and do it. So, what will your goal be?

Happy Earth Day.
