Going Green

I just watched Oprah and I have to tell you I am feeling a bit inspired. Today's show was in honor of Earth Day and was all about living green. I have to say, this has been something I have been wanting to do ever since I saw An Inconvenient Truth ( for all those who have yet to see it, I believe it is a must see, and please watch with your kids. What better way to educate our kids and inspire them to be proactive about the environment than to let them take an active role in helping us.) But you all know how it is, you put things off for another day to do more "important" things and before you know it 3 months have gone by and you've still done nothing. Well I am here to say I had a moment today while watching the show and I realized there aren't many things that are more important than taking a stand NOW and doing something. I can sit idley by and do nothing while our planet becomes less and less inhabitable or I can do something. Well I have made a choice and I am going to do something. I urge you all to consider making simple changes in your life and home. Hey, these changes can even end up saving you money. If you just replace your lightbulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs you are on your way to not only decreasing the CO2 output and helping decrease global warming but also saving on your electric bill ( and they last 7 - 10 years people!) There are so many simple changes you can make to help out Mother Earth, & they don't all cost a fortune. So I encourage you all to do your research & see what changes can work for your family. What better legacy to leave behind for your children than a planet that is better off because you were on it!
