Creative Ways to be Green

In honor of Earth Day, I wanted to list a few creative ideas for being green.

1. Repurpose. I love seeing items get a new life by being transformed into something different than what they were in their first life.

2. BYOB. Bring your own bags to the store. There is no reason not to use your own bags when you go shopping. Keep them in the trunk of your car or your back seat and you'll always have them available when you make a quick stop at the store.

3. Investigate some natural laundry and cleaning supplies. There are ways to make your own (just ask grandma). Or check out the many options available from Etsy sellers.

4. Hug a tree. Or plant one.

  2. I'm headed for the basement to find an old suitcase. I'm thinking I should decoupage the legs with fabric. I'll send a photo if and when it happens.

  3. Hi Jamie! I'm really late to the game with this homework, I had a crazy week and just got back from a trip. I love your blog and thanks for the great eco friendly Etsy tips. I love Etsy and find it so hard to search for great items since it is so large so I love getting great suggestions! I went ahead and bought the Julie Meyer snack sets - they are perfect for my daughters lunch boxes. Thanks!
