BLISSFUL SEED

Now that the weather is getting better and spring has sprung, how can we become better as an environmentalists? You can’t do everything but here’s a small list I complied that I think is very doable even for the novice tree hugger. Now as I write this don’t feel guilty to do them all.  Baby steps is key here.

Here is a list:

1. Recycle and that’s even easy for the most reluctant environmentalist.
2. REUSE the bag for the groceries. (That one is hard because I always have grocery bag amnesia but just place them in your car or right by the door.)
3. Use cloth napkins. for the kitchen or lunch (I know this is kind of old style but the savings add up especially if you are not buying the napkins and you have fun napkins of all kinds…but I would start with napkins in your lunch.  I would suggest LitterFree napkins especially the organic cotton napkins.   They are a Chicago based company.
4. Use less H2O. Need we say more?  What is really good is to replace the shower head in your bathroom with a more efficient one and there are some out there that are very nice!
5. Use less energy. Turn the juice off at night and we replaced all outdoor lighting with white light bulbs which is great too.
6. Use public transportation, bike, or walk to work. That’s easy here in the windy city even if some bus/trains were cut.  Man, even the bikers are fierce here.  Unfortunately, one ran into my door last winter!!  It threw him off and I was more frightened than him.  Let’s say I watch out for those bike messengers and you should too.
   

   Bike to work or just for fun

7. Buy an organic cotton t-shirt!!!! I am partly biased with this one but Blissful Seed has great designs and can be great gifts for women, men, and children.  Hurry!  We will have an Earth month special very soon.
