Eco-Friendly Choices (Day 23 of 30)

Let me begin by saying...the 4-week countdown is ON!

So last night, I participated in a Healthy Child, Healthy World and Seventh Generation twitter party. We talked about eco-friendly choices, and it made me really think about how many eco-friendly choices I have made, especially since giving birth to Lydia:

• Breastfeeding
• Cloth diapering
• Reusable shopping bags
• Recycling pretty much everything I can
• Donating unneeded goods to charities
• Composting
• Gardening using seeds from my kitchen
• Reused tire mulch under our playground set
• Greener household cleaning products
• Organic food choices
• Using reusable bottles for water and a Brita pitcher instead of buying water bottles
• Some eco-friendly toys for Lydia
• Conserving energy as much as possible 
• Not using excessive quantities of gas - just driving when I need to
• Refusing plasticware, bags, packaging in restaurants as often as possible
• Reusing containers, butting back on zipper bags

I'm sure I'm forgetting several, but it feels good to confidently make these choices. Being more eco-conscious is a way of life. It makes you think about each decision you make, how it affects your life, the lives of your children, and the future generations.
