Recycling is great for the environment and we should all be doing it (in spite of my title), but reusing is even better. When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. Plastic trash bags.

I planted a small garden this year: 2 tomato plants, 1 cucumber, 1 pepper plant that sadly didn’t make it, and 1 butternut squash. My butternut plant yielded nine beautiful squashes. At one time I planted quite a bit, but weeds overtook my garden and turned my favorite hobby into a stressful mess. Miscellany.

We threaten mother nature daily with our activities. Well, today I want to share with you some tips on how you can change for the better; things you can do that help mother nature instead of threatening her. Donate $1 or $2 towards the cause. Eat a plant based diet. So what can you do? Shop at eco-friendly businesses.

Living eco-friendly is of top priority in our house and so I thought I would share with you some of the things we do to work with mother nature. Choose detergents that are plant based, concentrated, and biodegradable. They can be thrown in the wash and reused again for next time. Recycle and reuse. Use fabric bags.
