Happy Earth Day! Now DO something to celebrate…

Michelle May

Earth Day is a wonderful time to consider how the small changes you make have a big impact on our planet! Here are a few ways our family has become more mindful about our carbon footprint:

  • Fortunately, the city of Phoenix has a recycling program so we recycle more than we throw away
  • We use canvas bags for our groceries (I’ve spoken at hundreds of conferences over the years so we have an eclectic collection!)
  • We collect all of our plastic wrappers, bread bags, etc. and return them to a bin at Frys grocery store for recycling
  • We rarely buy water bottles any more
  • We use reusable containers instead of plastic bags for lunches and leftovers
  • My husband started composting (I took too many science classes to go near it other than tossing our produce waste into a bowl!)
  • My next book, Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat will be Tree Neutral – which replants all trees consumed in the printing process, reducing the net effect of paper consumption on the environment
  • We just put a vegetable garden in a wasted strip of yard on the side of our house. Here is our first baby pepper!
