Small Changes = Huge Results

Edward Norton narrates this National Geographic special "Strange Days-Plastic Plague" about how our generation is experiencing the fastest global change ever due to plastic. Please please please stop using plastic bags! All plastic bags wind up in the trash and are unable to break down and so many end up in our oceans which just isn't fair to the aquatic life that has been able to live freely, before man screwed everything up, for thousands and thousands of years!

to save our Earth!

I know Earth Day has officially come and gone but please don't let it be a one day a year thing!

It should be an Everyday thing!

JoAnn over at Smitten wrote an article "30 Little Ways To Save The Planet"

Take a look, it's pretty easy to "Go Green" and really make a difference!

I thought these were pretty great!

Catalog Choice- Choose to stop the delivery of unwanted catalogs

Freecycle- Become part of a community where people "donate" unwanted items to eachother

Also, whatever you do, please stop using plastic bags! Please, please please! I am just as guilty as the next person... I'll forget one of my 6 totes I bought and opt for paper bags (thinking I'm doing a good thing) but in all actuality, paper bags are even worse because they use more energy to make. So for the sake of the planet, please use totes!

I had heard of this "island" composed completely of trash (mostly plastic bags) that is twice the size of Texas. Now people, that is just disgusting! Take a look at this article, it really puts things into perspective!

"E" is the Trash Island!
