Our planet.......

Finally the sun makes a rare appearance! It has been quite the gloomy week here. Between the rain, snow and slush, I was worried the sun had gone away for good! Strange weather to be having this time of year. All I can say is, what a shame we have done so much to damage our beautiful home to cause the weather to be more and more erratic!  The results are devastating to wild life, and to our lives as well!

I am hoping and Praying, that we are making the proper changes and learning how to turn our habits around. I want to leave my children and future grandchildren, and beautiful healthy world to live in! Clean air to breath, trees, grass, animals and surprisingly enough for me to say, even insects! 

Recycling has always been a big thing in our home. My nickname in high school from some of my friends was Greenpeace. It sounds kind of silly I guess, but I have always been devoted to doing my share to clean up our planet in any way I could. So we recycle, we reuse, we reduce regularly and always have! 

I hope I am doing a good job at instilling these habits and way of living into not only my children, but those around me! I encourage others to do the same. It can really blow your mind, how making such small changes can have a big impact. When people throw things away that can be reused, or recycled, it drives me batty! Hearing what difference will ONE can or one bottle make, is enough to make me want to cry. Can you imagine if all the people who felt that way, who take the extra minute to recycle that can or bottle? How many millions more we could stop from ending up in our landfills? 

My children, husband and I are working on a special recycling/reusing project this summer. I am really hoping we are able to accomplish what we are setting out to do. It will be pretty epic, that's all I will say for now. After the next few weekends of birthday parties, and events, I hope we can take a day to sit down and make our plans. I look forward to getting to it, and posting a picture of our progress once we start! 

Well, that's all for now! I have a busy afternoon ahead. I will update soon! :)
