Earth Day Every Day

Going Green seems to be the hip thing to do these days. And while there is a special time to supposedly "go green," Earth Day really should be every day. It takes a little more effort at first, but implementing eco-friendly products and habits can just become part of your every day life.

My suggestion, start small. Pick a part of your life that it will be the easiest to implement an earth conscious behavior. For us, it was switching from bottled water, to filtering our own tap water.

REMEMBER GO GREEN WEEK @ AGAM is August 17-22

Don't get me wrong. I am so not a granola-eating, tree-hugging, hybrid-driving, eco-activist. I drive an SUV and sometimes I throw away recyclable items because I am too lazy to walk to the recycling bin. But! I am trying and I do as much as I can to be more "green." Basically, I have found that it comes down to convenience. Most parents don't have a lot of free time on their hands and sometimes "going green" takes a back burner. By convenience I don't necessarily mean less physical effort. It also takes a lot of work and time to research and find companies that produce items that are better for the environment and your family. So I try to do some of that leg work for you!

If you have already installed the solar panels and bike to work each day OR if you are just trying to do all you can to be a light shade of green - I am pretty sure you will find something during this week that you can use.
