Happy Earth day! What are you doing to help make this world we live in a better place? We do not have a city recycling pickup in our town so I make the once a week trip to the local recycling center to drop off all of our boxes and plastic water bottles. Yes, we still drink out of the water bottles. I have heard on all of the news shows about how unhealthy the plastic is but so far we are still drinking out of them.
Maybe if everyone in my family had one of these cool Sigg water bottles we could eliminate all that plastic we are using. If you would like to try and win some for your family just go to the giveaways here, here , here and here.

great links - maybe this will motivate me to do more!
I was very frustrated to learn that - other than a newspaper recycling place - there is no where in my town to recycle aluminum, glass or plastic. :-(
A friend bought me a refillable water bottle so I'm trying to cut back on our post-consumer waste. Louisiana is not famous for being "green" so it's a challenge.
Great post!
I love that water bottle design. Very zen.
We use cloth grocery bags and recycle as much as we can. Oh, and I switched to cloth napkins last fall. No more paper towels either (though I still have 6-7 leftover in my stockpile).
I haven't built a "green house" or installed solar panels however, at our house we recycle and we also have an extra garbage container for green waste which consists of grass clippings, tree clippings and weeds.
We also conserve our water and electricity and most importantly the petrol for our cars.
We are converting all of our light bulbs over to the compact flurescent bulbs. And I want to get reusable grocery bags, just haven't done that yet.
The girls and I are planting some seeds today.
We are drying clothes outside all this week and praying that the birds flying overhead miss us!
We also are doing all our errands together... yikes. Peter and I are so different that way and I hate going to Home Depot about as much as he has dis-liked shopping for my TEVA'S!
the usual recycling bottles and cans. I was given a green bag at the County Fair - I should start using that too..
Oh yeah, and we recycle and try to conserve water and electricity.
Been out of touch. Sounds like you are on top of the green thing. I am using all cloth grocery bags. Fry's gives 5 cents off for each of your own bags used. I even crocheted one. It is very cute.
