Earth Day Every Day!

There is always more we can do to protect and preserve our natural resources. I'm challenged to make small changes in my lifestyle and choices that are kinder to the earth. I find that the kitchen and bathroom are two major consumers of plastics, so I concentrate there. I use these beeswax food wraps which are made from organic cotton and organic beeswax. They help to keep food fresh without wrapping in plastic. This year for Christmas I selected silicone zip bags to cut down on plastic ziplock bags. In the shower I now use soap and shampoo bars instead of bottles of shower gel and shampoo. I have a long way to go, and when I walk my street and see the insane amount of trash from other homes on trash collection day, I can get discouraged. But little by little, with many people making an effort, perhaps we can indeed leave lighter footprints on our planet!
