Happy Earth Day!
Yes I agree that it is a commercial effort to make us all feel good about saving the earth for one day . . .but how else do you get the stragglers on board?
By 2 big things this year for going green are:
1) recycling or donating all of our old clothes. No more pounds of nasty clothes for the landfill from my house, Good Will will take anything and recycle it for insulation or carpet padding or something else useful.
2) Green cleaning: I'm going to try to make my own cleaners after I get rid of all the chemicals in my house. But its mostly for the reason that buying a bottle of vinegar and having baking soda on hand is much cheaper that a bathroom scrub, windex, a multipurpose spray and other things.
Cheap I tell you! Cheap!
Now if only I could figure out how to make my own makeup I'd be set.
Today is also administrative professionals day which means . . . free lunch for me!!!
To bad they don't have the option to order maternity plate sizes because they think that all women pick at their plates like birds.

Love your activism! Doing something is better than nothing. I didn't know Goodwill sent their stuff to recycling. Great to know.
