Down To Earth

Happy Earth Day! I'm not a tree-hugger by any means, but it's great that there's a day devoted to improving the way we treat Mother Earth. After all... if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! 

Confession: I'm pretty much useless when it comes to being green. I really don't recycle, except at work where we have a different recepticle for every item (which confuses me on a daily basis). I also buy a ton of bottled water, and drive to work almost every day eventhough I could take the metro and help save the planet. I get a big fat green F.

Buuut, I looked over the "take action" items that the Earth Day Campaign lists to see how annoying they'd be to try, and they aren't that bad. For example, I already have reusable grocery bags, so I just have to remember to take them with me, and I can also be better about turning off lights and buying environmentally friendly cleaning products. Shopping? Yes, please! I think I'll start with one of those dishwasher safe sponges. Stinky sponges make me gag.

Ohhh and here's a hilarious video that was sent to me today.  This dude is taking up recycling in hopes of earning enough money to buy a Ferrari. Maybe I'll scale back and just go for a pair of Louboutin shoes :)



LOL!  I think I'll stick to my day job.

xoxo,
Olivia
