Today, Aprill 22, 2008 is Earth Day. Show Mother Earth your appreciation by using all-natural earth-friendly cleaning products, reuse items or join a reuse group, and keep a tote bag in your vehicle for daily shopping stops.

Groups like Freecycle keep stuff out of the landfills and connect people with hidden treasures. Give and get cool things for free while reducing waste and helping our planet.

Keep a tote bag in your vehicle for daily shopping stops. When you stop to purchase groceries and other goods, make sure you bring your tote in the store with you to carry them home. With over 36 billion plastic sacks being used in the U.S. alone, this one effort could save a lot of ozone depleting chemicals from being released into the atmosphere. If you find yourself without your tote, opt for a paper sack instead – this option has much less impact on the earth. Imagine the impact we all could make if every person took this one simple step!

This is one of my favorite photos for Earth Day. I love taking pictures of nature particularly flowers, birds, and the sky. This is an hydrangea from my back yard.
